Please join us for Biology Week!

Hello, I am giving you this personal invitation to join us this week for Biology Week! Please join us on the wiki and add or edit biology articles. Also, please let your friends and colleagues who are biologists, biology students, or naturalists, know about Biology Week and ask them to join us, too. Any way you can help make it an event would be most welcome. Think of it as a Biology Workgroup open house. Let's see if we can kick up activity a notch! Thanks in advance! --Larry Sanger 12:24, 22 September 2008 (CDT)

The first Biology Week took place here from Sep 22-28, 2008.

(Just showing you what I'm putting on all editor pages. And isn't it time to archive your user talk page?  ;-) --Larry Sanger 12:24, 22 September 2008 (CDT)

About the Sex Article

Thanks for your comments about my questions concerning the sex article. I'd like to see the same list of topics covered rigorously and well. At one point in my career, I studied reproductive behavior in rodents (rats, gerbils) but some 30 years ago my interests moved to human sexuality. My main interest is the ethological and ethnographic analysis of human courtship behavior, based on participant-observer ethnographic observations in a variety of settings. From your comments and the kind of work your group publishes, your interests are physiological and neuroendocrinological -- areas I genuinely wish we understood better in human beings. But from what I've seen, we're a long way behind the kind of understanding we have of rats (for example).

On that note, do you have a copy of your Jacques Benoit article you could email to me? (perpcorn@dca.net) Thanks!

I'm trying to get a feel for Citizendium and its inhabitants. Very friendly, I'd say! The sexuality articles are certainly one place to start thinking about what kinds of article might be most helpful. So many thanks for your welcome!

I would only ask that we do not attempt to apply observations about the social dynamics and ethics to those of the sexual behavior of lawyers. After all, there are some things a rat will simply not do. Howard C. Berkowitz 12:56, 25 September 2008 (CDT)
