I'm a university graduate student with an interest in (particularly) beetles. My studies centre on the effects of alternative agricultural systems and practices on insect communities. I find the vast diversity of insects especially interesting. They present a seemingly inexhaustible supply of mysteries to delve into.
I also very much enjoy the broader scope of nature and some of the adventures it supplies: hiking, fishing, cross country skiing, etc.

Grammatical errors in other people’s work bug me, so I’m liable to try to fix them. In my own writing, however, I tend to miss things that may be blatant to other people, especially in my use of commas. Corrections are welcome.
Simple English Wikipedia
editI think Wikipedia should be accessible, even to those whose grasp of the English language is not great, perhaps especially for those with developing abilities in English. For this reason I strongly encourage anyone with interest to visit the Simple English Wikipedia and browse some of the articles or contribute.
