I'm a chemist with a research interest in emerging technologies, including nanotechnology, synthetic biology, and AI safety. I've been editing Wikipedia since late 2006, and was reading it for about two years before that.

My work on Wikipedia includes emerging technologies and related science topics; science policy and other policy topics; and local landmarks, especially bridges. My time is split between creating and expanding new articles, copyediting existing articles for flow and clarity of organization, and performing splits of long articles and merges of articles that have overlapping subject matter. I was a Wikipedian-in-Residence for the U.S. National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health from January 2017 to February 2025, and my edits for that position were made under a separate account.

The Caltech–MIT rivalry is a college rivalry between the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), stemming from the colleges' reputations as top science and engineering schools in the United States. The rivalry is unusual given the geographic distance between the schools (their campuses are separated by about 3000 miles and are on opposite coasts of the United States), as well as its focus on elaborate pranks rather than sporting events. The most recent pranking war was instigated in April 2005, when Caltech students pulled multiple pranks during MIT's Campus Preview Weekend for prospective freshmen. MIT students responded a year later by stealing Caltech's antique Fleming Cannon and transporting it across the country to MIT's campus. Subsequent pranks have included fake satirical school newspapers distributed by Caltech students at MIT, and the appearance of a TARDIS device on top of Caltech's Baxter Hall. (more...)
