Hi! Leave me a message!
I mostly enjoy spending time adding information to and editing scientific articles, such as:
- Galileo spacecraft
- Cassini-Huygens
- Scintillation and Scintillation counter
- Laser and List of laser types
- Inertial confinement fusion
- certain things nuclear fission and nuclear fusion related
- X-ray, Ultraviolet, Gamma rays etc.
- Sonoluminescence/Bioluminescence
- Superconductor
- many others! :)
Also, I like to add (much needed, IMHO) images to articles of a scientific nature. eg. [1]
I am strongly scientifically skeptical and as such I have little patience for pseudoscience or mysticism being inserted into legitimate rational articles on Wikipedia. It seems that this is a common occurrence on Wiki and I do my best to keep NPOV in articles where this is an issue. Though sometimes it is rather difficult!! :o)
Check out my images of light source spectra, they're oh so exciting!

The papaya (Carica papaya), also known as the pawpaw, is a plant species in the family Caricaceae, and also the name of the plant's fruit. It was first domesticated in Mesoamerica, within modern-day southern Mexico and Central America, and is now grown in several countries in regions with a tropical climate. The papaya fruit is a large berry about 15 to 45 cm (5.9 to 17.7 in) long and 10 to 30 cm (3.9 to 11.8 in) in diameter. The fruit is cultivated for food, being typically consumed when ripe and eaten raw without skin or seeds. The black seeds are also edible and have a sharp, spicy taste. This photograph shows the longitudinal cross section of a papaya fruit lying on its side, with orange flesh and numerous black seeds visible. The picture was focus-stacked from seven separate images.Photograph credit: Ivar Leidus
