Notes
  • I maintain alternate accounts. Pdcookmobile is for use with mobile devices and public computers. BiochemProf is for future education-related endeavors.
  • I edit articles about or related to Grand Valley State University, my alma mater and employer. I am not paid to make these edits. I believe my edits are neutral, encyclopedic, and appropriate, but if you have any concerns, please let me know.
