I am employed as a Research Scientist by the New York State Psychiatric Institute (NYSPI), at the Columbia University Medical Center (CUMC). As part of my duties, I work as an editor in the Department of Psychiatry in CUMC. The material I am contributing is biographical material about faculty members in the Department, who I know personally, as they are my colleagues. The material consists of biographical facts contained in the profiles of faculty members that appear on the Department's website. All of the faculty members have reviewed and approve the content I am submitting.

The material does not express a point of view or an opinion with respect to the profiles of the faculty. Rather, as noted above, it consists only of facts about the faculty. Psychiatry777 ( talk) 15:58, 18 August 2009 (UTC) reply
