Me!
I'm vivrolfe (Viv, @vivienrolfe) and I'm interested in open education and science. My background is in the pet food industry and academia. I'm presently a researcher in herbal science, and previously worked in science departments of UK universities. I'm a jazz musician so will be interesting in helping Wikipedia support writing articles on female musicians. Musicians that I like:
 * Ivy Benson
 * Nina Simone
 * Ella Fitzgerald

Pets
I have a spaniel called Spike.

Editing sections
I hopefully will therefore contribute to the following pages on herbal medicines and open educational resources:

Andrographis paniculata (added new biological and clinical evidence to the alternative medicine section).

Open Educational Resources

Rosemary - just putting some information onto this page with a visiting student who is interested in rosemary.

What I'm doing next!
Adding to existing pages to update references and text.

Equally getting a bit pissed off that some of the other wikipedia editors do not recognise clinical trials or systematic reviews as evidence. I think I'll give up with Wikipedia now. Few weeks later - we edited the rosemary page and the sentence has not been removed yet, so maybe...
