View source for User:Marielle Fields Newsome

I am an Ph.D. student in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, MI.  I graduated with Honors in Biological Sciences with a concentration in Neurobiology and Behavior from Cornell University in Ithaca, NY in May 2008.

My primary interest in contributing to the  Citizendium is in the field of animal behavior; however, I've contributed to articles on Wikipedia in other areas of biology, chemistry, and physics, and expect to do so here as well.  I am also interested in scientific classification.  My organisms of choice generally belong to the class [[Insecta]].  As for nonscientific interests, anime, manga, and other aspects of Japanese popular culture are a hobby of mine.  I am also an avid reader of both fiction and non fiction.

===Biology Workweek Mock-ups===
====Main page====

Here's the [http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Image:Writing_amoeba.svg .svg], if anyone wants to work on it.  I think the rest of the pencil needs shading, and maybe the amoeba needs to pop more.

====Workgroup Page====
If someone wants to format this better, that would be great.  Also, the banner design is still a work in progress.  Suggestions are very welcome.  [[User:Marielle Fields Newsome|Marielle Fields Newsome]] 11:36, 8 June 2008 (CDT)

: Hi Marielle, these look great!  For uniformity, though, let's use the name "Biology Week."  Also, if I had my pick, I'd put the second one on the main page, because it's fancier...not that I care that much, I really don't.

: And, since I haven't said it yet--welcome!  It's always nice and encouraging when a new active person shows up!--[[User:Larry Sanger|Larry Sanger]] 17:35, 8 June 2008 (CDT)

===Taxonomy===

Making entries for all the taxonomic divisions order and up in [[Hexapoda]].

Insect classification, like much of taxonomy, has been going through rather dramatic changes recently.  The most complete source for up-to-date classification seems to be [http://www.itis.gov/ ITIS].  As such, I've decided that the site will be my final authority on taxonomy.  I notice that Wikipedia uses more recent material in their classification, but I'm hesitant to do that, mostly because taxonomy is often interdependent, and one paper does not a new order make.

Where completed means there's a good skeleton for a fully fleshed out article in place.
