8th ISCB Wikipedia Competition: entries closing soon!
 | Hello, this is to let you know that entries for the 8th ISCB Wikipedia Competition are closing soon! The ISCB aims to improve the communication of scientific knowledge to the public at large, and Wikipedia plays an increasingly important role in this communication; the ISCB Wikipedia Competition aims to improve the quality of Wikipedia articles relating to computational biology. Entries to the competition are open now; the competition closes on 17 May 2019. For students/trainees: Entry to the competition is open internationally to students and trainees of any level, both as individuals and as groups. Prizes of up to $500 will be awarded to the best contributions as chosen by a judging panel of experts; these will be awarded at the ISMB/ECCB conference in Basel, Switzerland in July 2019. As in previous years, the ISCB encourages competition entries for contributions to Wikipedia in any language. For teachers/trainers: Please pass this invitation on to your students! We also encourage you to consider using the competition as part of an in-class assignment. Further details may be found at: Wikipedia:WikiProject Computational Biology/8th ISCB Wikipedia competition announcement. If you wish to opt-out of future mailings from WikiProject Computational Biology, please remove yourself from the mailing list or alternatively to opt-out of all massmessage mailings, you may add Category:Wikipedians who opt out of message delivery to your user talk page.Amkilpatrick (talk) 14:37, 9 April 2019 (UTC) |

Ronald W. Davis article
Hello. This scientist has come to my notice lately, and I find him fascinating on a few levels. The article about Ronald W. Davis is short on his accomplishments in genomics. I do not work in that area, and fear to make a muck of the technical language. I did add some text to his latest project, the "nanoneedle", and his family situation, using recent articles about him, and I tried to clean up the awards list, getting sources for more of them -- and I got more interested in him in reading those sources. Are you the sort who can make the scientific accomplishments clearer? Put enough text to justify the long list of awards he has received? The Davis article is under the aegis of mainly California task forces, as he lives and works there now, but no scientific groups. Anyway, if you could take a look and then rustle up some good writers in science, I think the article would be much improved. I picked your name from the list of people in a science working group, reading your description with an interest in biology and computers. I am hoping that genomics is part of biology. I hope this is not too bold a request. If so, my apologies. --Prairieplant (talk) 04:58, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
