about me
Hi there!
Ohai! I’m Sage Ross, a graduate student in the History of Science and Medicine program at Yale. I’m all-but-dissertation and writing my thesis on the history of molecular evolution, the intersection of the two great metanarratives of modern biology (evolution and the molecular vision of life).
I live with my wife Faith Jordan, our son Brighton and our cat Curie in West Hartford, Connecticut. Beyond history, my interests include Wikipedia and the free culture movement, science fiction, photography, bonsai, and progressive politics.
I am an active Wikimedian and currently serve as editor of The Wikipedia Signpost.

Hi! I have been surfing the web and through the BSHS I found your blog. My name is Gabriela and last week I have launched, along with two professors from the University of Buenos Aires, Eä – Journal of Medical Humanities & Social Studies of Science and Technology (ISSN 1852-4680), a periodical electronic journal in an publishing papers on Medical Humanities and Social Studies of Science and Technology. The journal is available at the URL http://www.ea-journal.com.
We aim to be in the junction between academic excellence and the development of the new technologies of information and social networks. Eä gathers a prestigious editorial committee, is peer reviewed by international referees and meets the requirements of periodical publications indexes. Eä publishes three issues a year (April, August, and December). It is presented in Spanish and English, and accepts texts in Spanish, English, Portuguese and French, reaching global impact. We created this publication under the Web 2.0 paradigm, with a dynamic layout that promotes user-reader’s interaction between them and with the website. The website has just beeen published, and in the next months we will be also including a forum and new interactive sections for users.
First of all, I would like to invite you to go through the contents of our first issue. Second of all, I found your blog very interesting and I think it would be of our readers’ interest, so I added it to our website (see http://www.ea-journal.com/en/links/48-blogs). Third, I would like to ask you wether it would be possible if you included a post or a link about us in your blog, helping us spread the news about this initiative. And fourth, and finally, I saw the topic of your thesis and I would be of our great interest to have a paper about that, so I would also like to invite you to submit a paper to be published in Vol. 1 Nº 2 (December 2009). Next deadline will be October 1st (information for authors in the following link: http://www.ea-journal.com/en/information-for-authors).
Looking forward to hearing from you.
My very best wishes,
Gabriela
