Nicholas W. Beeson, Ph.D.
I am a retired research scientist.
I received a B.S. Chem. in 1979 from the University of Michigan.
The B.S.Chem. which requires 12 one-semester classes, and is the most rigorous undergraduate degree in pure chemistry.
I worked for six years synthesizing new chemicals for the Parke-Davis Research Center of the Warner-Lambert Pharmaceutical Company, in Ann Arbor. This is now, 2024, part of Pfizer.
In 1989 I received a M.S. in Computer Science and Engineering, from the University of Michigan College of Engineering. This is awarded on completion of all of the course work required for the two distinct degrees.
I then did my doctoral studies in the lab of Dr. Gerhard Wagner at Harvard Medical School. I earned a Ph.D. in Biophysics from the Harvard Graduate School of Arts and Sciences in 1995.
Over the next twenty years I worked for six research groups in Ann Arbor: Parke-Davis, Environmental Research Institute of Michigan, and four departments in the University of Michigan Medical School: Human Genetics, Radiation Oncology, Biologic Nanotechnology, and the Center for Integrative Biologic Informatics.
I spent the last four years of my career teaching computer science to undergraduates at Concordia University in Ann Arbor.
I am now happily retired.
I have been editing Wikipedia since 2006, averaging 1.8 articles edited per day, with half of those being non-trivial edits.
