Education: BSc Chem UCLA 1966, emphasis on organic chem (all org chem during junior year in Göttingen, Germany), MA (Chem & Education) U of Oregon 1972, other odds n ends of grad work, Postgraduate Diploma in Psychology, U of Auckland, circa 2000. Plus a lifetime of learning all I can about everything that interests me, severely restricted by limited time, talent and resources, especially before the internet blossomed.

Work: Riker Labs (Northridge) synthesis of novel compounds of potential pharmaceutical interest (1966-67), secondary and tertiary science teaching for many years in many places from 1968 on (Eugene & Sherwood OR; Marin County & Catalina Island, CA; Ridgefield, WA; Helensville and Albany, New Zealand). Wrote summaries of medical research (total >1500) for Adis International's weekly Inpharma in late 1990s. Now retired but very busy, and I still get as much sci/tech editing work through email as I can handle (and then some!), so I don't have enough time to be as involved with Wikipedia as I'd like to be.

But I value Wikipedia highly, and see the occasional thing I'd like to correct, improve, or enlarge on, so I've registered.
