I am interested in helping the wikipedia project by bringing scientific, logical, balanced approaches to complicated issues. I specialize professionally in blood disorders and blood clotting. I've edited numerous articles on those topics as well as unnecessary health care and stewardship efforts.
I am pleased to see an increase in women editing wikipedia. The Women in Red project is a wonderful initiative and I'm grateful to be a part of it. I've created articles on Artis Henderson, Laura Vanderkam, Marisa Meltzer, Dina Strachan, D'yan Forest, Jean Ensminger, and The Mental Load: A Feminist Comic.
I created this article: Ask Me Again. If you can find any information on Robert Bruce, who starred in the film episode, I'd be delighted.
Personally, I'm a special needs mom, I like reading and puzzles, and I would like to do standup comedy someday or write jokes professionally in some capacity. Feel free to leave me a joke on my Talk page if you want to trade laughs.
Some of my fun edits were:
- Awkwafina's stage name refers to her self-perception as ‘awkwardly fine’.[1]
- Sheila Nevins commented that she was never mentored, but rather de-mentored; fortunately, “revenge is the best mentor”.[2]
- Maroon 5 lost the UCLA Spring Sing, while UCLA students, to Sara Bareilles.[3]
- Dame Maggie Smith denied that she was ever a 'dish', despite what a 1960s theater reviewer wrote, and explained that character actors can keep developing their craft without concern over losing their beauty.[4]
- Opera singer, breakdancer and model Jakub Josef Orlinski joked about a fan’s notebook cover which read “Sorry I wasn’t listening, I was thinking about Jakub Josef Orlinski".[5]
- "Welcome to Holland", an essay about special needs parenting, doesn't mention that in Amsterdam, even the tourists say there are too many tourists (please see the accompanying graphic[6] on the referenced NPR page.[7]
- During a two-month road trip, a seasonal L.L. Bean employee driving the Bootmobile met up with the "world's largest roller skate", another novelty vehicle, for a photo. A real shoe of comparable proportions would be a size 708.[8]
- Nora Ephron joked about getting her hair blown dry at a salon twice a week because "it's cheaper by far than psychoanalysis, and much more uplifting".[9]
