User:VaudevillianScientist

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I contribute mostly to Wikipedia entries in the topical areas of chemistry, statistics, physics, materials science and engineering, and computational sciences, including entries of technical concepts as well as biographies of people. Occasionally, I also contribute to niche topics within linguistics, computer science and environmental sciences.

At the moment (2022+), my main goal is to improve the quality of the biographies of scientists and academics on Wikipedia. This involves the the inclusion of notable but less publicized people and highlight their contributions. I also intend to make the main publications of these people more discoverable by including a bibliography section in the biography.
