Hi partner

Hi Sarah. Looks like we're grouped together for the Wiki project. Let me know if you ever have any questions or concerns, and don't hesitate to speak up if I'm not pulling my load. Don Brown (talk) 23:13, 24 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

Areas of Interest

edit

Hi Sarah. Looking ahead, I see that in unit 5 we're supposed to pick a couple of articles on Pubmed. What sort of areas are you interested in? Don Brown (talk) 15:24, 29 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

Sorry for lagging behind a bit. It's been a crazy busy week. Mostly my main area of interest is in proteomics but really I'm just having a blast learning anything new. How about you? Sarah Facci (talk) 02:43, 1 October 2013 (UTC)Reply
No worries. I go in spurts too. I agree - it's all fascinating. I have a computer science background, so all the "omics" look cool. I'm really interested in the area of personalized medicine, which involves both genomics and proteomics. Don Brown (talk) 19:47, 1 October 2013 (UTC)Reply

Summary of characteristics of target article

edit

We are targeting a B or GA, starting from a stub. A stub-class article is very basic and is probably closer to a simple definition than an encyclopedia article. To improve the article, general knowledge must be expanded, expert level knowledge should be added, and good citations used. Care should be taken to write in a clear, neutral, professional style. To be accepted as GA, an article must undergo an official review. GA may still be slightly incomplete or require more expert knowledge, and will require additional reviews to pass the next level ratings.

Welcome!
