I made my first edit today, September 12, 2012, to the Radiation therapy article. I'm new to Wikipedia, but not to writing and editing. Wanting to get up to speed on some of the editing conventions, I read an on-line book about Wikipedia over the weekend, and my first edit seemed to go okay. Still, I'm sure I have a lot to learn.

My interests are in science and medicine, especially cancer and its treatment. I'm particulary interested in emerging treatment modalities.

I want to be a useful member of this community, and I welcome feedback and collaboration.

I made a second edit today, September 13, 2012, to hyperlink the journal reference to an external source.

December 17, 2012. Well, obviously I did not maintain my early resolve to track my activities through this page. Since my last entry I have made edits to the Glioblastoma, Radiosensitizer, Temozolomide and Tumor hypoxia articles. I've also contributed original articles on evolving treatment modalities for brain cancer, including Oxygen diffusion-enhancing compounds, Trans sodium crocetinate, Diffusion Pharmaceuticals and bios of the founders of that company.

I'm enjoying both the process and the community, and hope I am making a positive contribution.

I also just realized that all my Wikipedia activities could be observed by clicking on Contributions, so there is no need to keep a log of them here. (Duh.)
