Hi, Wikipedia! I've been around for a while, but still have a lot to learn. Advice, chiding, trout whacks, and vegan pastry recipes are always welcome.
I'm interested in dance, math, classical music, philosophy, biology, languages, and climbing trees. I chose my username because I was writing a quartet for four violas when I signed up. I'm currently in grad school, studying organoids and organs-on-chips as alternatives to animal research.
I believe that singular "they" has long been, is increasingly, and should be officially accepted as an epicene pronoun.
Articles written mostly by me (pageviews):
Why I like Wikipedia
I'm comforted to know that an open platform like Wikipedia can become a public good, rather than the kind of vitriol-spattered shambles that is so much of the user-generated Internet. And I'm endlessly impressed by how well the policies have been hashed out.
Evaluations of me and my work
When I'm first interacting with another Wikipedia editor, I sometimes find it's useful to get a sense of what others think of them as a colleague. To help you do the same, I've collected a sample of such evaluations for myself. Feel free to add your own, but please refrain from making threats. If you don't like the way I quoted you, you're welcome to edit or remove your evaluation.

In honor of Teenly, I will strive to show every Wikipedia user the kindness and assumption of good faith I would show a terminally ill 6-year-old. Please let me know on my talk page if I've slipped up.
