My name is Sage Ross, and I am a history graduate student. My areas of Wikipedia expertise are the history of science and 20th-century American history. I have an undergraduate degree in chemistry and research experience in biochemistry, organic chemistry and solid state physics. I'm married to an astrophysicist-turned-medical student, and we have three cats together.
On Wikipedia, I help maintain the History of science portal and help coordinate and recruit for the History of Science WikiProject.

History of Science Pic of the Week  The late 19th century was a period of increased tension and conflict between science and religion; the relationship is dramatized in this engraving by W. Ridgway (published in 1878) after Daniel Huntington's 1868 painting Philosophy and Christian Art. An attractive young woman attempts to persuade a wizened natural philosopher of the virtue of Christian art (in the form of an adoration scene), while he resolutely points to his book, the pages of which read "SCIENTIA" and "MECHANICA", in answer. In addition to youth and beauty, the young woman has nature itself, seen through the window, on her side. (In the original painting, the landscape is a somewhat wilder Romantic scene, meant to emphasize the power of nature.)
Things I'm proud of:  Haeckel Gallery - The complete set of illustrations from Ernst Haeckel's Kunstformen der Natur (1904), scanned and uploaded by me. Completed March 25, 2006. Contact me for the original scans if you would like to create improved versions of any of the images. WikiProject History of Science - Started January 15, 2006. Current number of participants: 53 Portal:History of science - Promoted to featured portal status May 23, 2006. Wikipedia assignment in HIST 236 - As teaching assistant for the Fall 2006 course "History of Modern Science in Society", I designed a Wikipedia term paper assignment, resulting in the creation or expansion of 13 articles.Current projects:
