I am an Ph.D. student in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, MI.  I graduated with Honors in Biological Sciences with a concentration in Neurobiology and Behavior from Cornell University in Ithaca, NY in May 2008.

My primary interest in contributing to the  Citizendium is in the field of animal behavior; however, I've contributed to articles on Wikipedia in other areas of biology, chemistry, and physics, and expect to do so here as well.  I am also interested in scientific classification.  My organisms of choice generally belong to the class [[''Insecta'']].  As for nonscientific interests, anime, manga, and other aspects of Japanese popular culture are a hobby of mine.  I am also an avid reader of both fiction and non fiction.

I decided to take this write-a-thon to put in entries for every order in  [Hexapoda]].  It has been a total source nightmare.  I started with Peterson's Field Guide.  I got to the order [[Orthoptera]]... and it included [[cockroaches]]!  Good lord. The last time I checked, cockroaches were in their own order (and there was a 2007 paper suggesting they should actually be a suborder in [[Isoptera]], but the dust hasn't settled on that yet).  And then I realized that despite the fact that I bought the field guide in my teenage years, it hadn't been updated since 1970.  So I brought out my Nat'l Audubon Society Field Guide, which is copyright 1995.  Better, but a lot has changed.  
Here's the [http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Image:Writing_amoeba.svg .svg], if anyone wants to work on it.  I think the rest of the pencil needs shading, and maybe the amoeba needs to pop more.


After all that, I discovered [http://www.itis.gov/ ITIS]. As it claims to be an authority, I will be using that.  I notice that wikipedia uses quite recent material in their classification, but I'm hesitant to do that, mostly because taxonomy is often interdependent.  [[User:Marielle Fields Newsome|Marielle Fields Newsome]] 16:59, 4 June 2008 (CDT)

Here's the .svg, if anyone wants to work on it. I think the rest of the pencil needs shading, and maybe the amoeba needs to pop more.

Hi! I'm an amoeba and I write Citizendium articles. So can you!
Biology Week is on!
Join us this week, September 22-28

You're invited to work on high priority articles, or simply start a new one!
It's a Workgroup Week. If an amoeba can participate, so can you!

(Are you new? This is a good day to get a Quick Start.)

Workgroup Page

If someone wants to format this better, that would be great. Also, the banner design is still a work in progress. Suggestions are very welcome. Marielle Fields Newsome 11:36, 8 June 2008 (CDT)

Workgroups are no longer used for group communications, but they still are used to group articles into fields of interest. Each article is assigned to 1-3 Workgroups via the article's Metadata.
