My name is Kyle E. Harms. I am a professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at Louisiana State University (LSU).

I was an undergraduate major in Biology at Iowa State University. I then completed a Ph.D. in the Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology at Princeton University. Following post-doctoral stints at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, University of California at Santa Barbara, and Cornell University, I joined the faculty at LSU in 2002.

Wikipedia
I became a Wikipedian on August 18, 2011.

A course I teach at LSU is Conservation Biology. My fall semester 2011 course was part of Wikipedia's United States Education Program, which is in turn part of the Wikimedia Foundation's Global Education Program. I developed an assignment for the course that gave students the opportunity to make their own contributions to Wikipedia. I then administered a new version of my Wikipedia assignment for the fall semester 2012 course.

Sandboxes
My first sandbox contains some useful information on editing Wikipedia contributions.

KYLE'S FIRST SANDBOX

My second sandbox is just an example of a sandbox that has not yet been fully "created," i.e., I have not yet clicked on the "Create" button on the "Edit" page. (Notice that when you open my first sandbox there is an "Edit" tab in the upper right-hand corner of the screen - next to the "Search" window, whereas when you open my second sandbox that tab is missing.)
