Originally from Syria. Interested in evidence-based health and research. Coming from a medical background and strongly rooted in medical evidence; I hope to improve the reliability of Wikipedia's medical content because whether you like it or not - due to the openness of this great resource, a great many people rely on Wikipedia for medical information. As you can probably see though I'm quite the new arrival and would greatly appreciate your comments on any of my edits. Or if you'd like to say hello on my talk page!

I blog about research/ebm and am active in a number of small research projects; always happy to collaborate, get in touch.

Disclaimer: I took a placement at the UK Cochrane Centre. Part of my role was to follow through with Students 4 Best Evidence(S4BE, s4be.org). I was a volunteer contributor/pioneer at S4BE before I took this position and continued to be after my first placement ended in September 2014. One of the aims of the placement is to encourage active editing of Wikipedia as part of the joint initiative between the Cochrane Collaboration and WikiProject Medicine. I worked closely with Wikipedian in Residence (WiR) for the Cochrane Collaboration Sydney Poore/ User:FloNight.I strive to abide by Wikipedia's accepted practices on conflicts of interest and neutrality. ^[1]
