 * Great, thanks for the info! --David Ludwig (talk) 17:11, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I am sorry that you cannot attend today. I would still like to meet you sometime and talk about scientific devices. Consumer Reports houses a lot of novel testing equipment which I want to share, and I think you also are trying to find ways to share media for scientific instruments. I also know other people who have science media collections and we are all wondering what to do with them. I leave the country for a month this weekend. Perhaps we can meet sometime in March.

 * I am sorry that I couldn't come to the labs yesterday! Anyway, it would be great to meet up in March - let me know when you're back in New York. --David Ludwig (talk) 22:55, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Okay, thanks.  Blue Rasberry    (talk)   23:19, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the mention of Templeton 2013.
Hi, thanks for mentioning the Templeton 2013 paper you mentioned in one of your recent edit summaries. I just looked it up, and I'd like to give it a thorough read as I ponder improving various articles on Wikipedia. It's always helpful to share good sources. See you on the wiki. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk, how I edit) 21:16, 3 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi WeijiBaikeBianji! Yes, Templeton’s papers are very helpful. He makes a really convincing case against human subspecies and explains in detail why human races have no place in standard taxonomies. At the same time, I also think that his arguments are somewhat limited in scope. Researchers in other areas (e.g. biomedicine) follow different classificatory standards and are not concerned with subspecies in the sense of Templeton. (in case you’re interested: I briefly discuss this issue in a forthcoming article on the ambiguity of “race”) --David Ludwig (talk) 23:16, 3 November 2014 (UTC)
