I'm David Goodman, also known as dgoodman (dgoodmanny@gmail.com)

  • user name DavidGoodman, real name: David Goodman,
  • email: dgoodmanny@gmail.com
  • WP name: DGG

currently working on: Zoology

CV (abridged)

  • B.A. Brooklyn College, (math)
  • Ph.D Berkeley, (Molecular biology--Gunther Stent's lab)
  • Post-Doc, Berkely, (Evolutionary biochemistry--Allen Wilson's Lab)
  • Assist. Prof. of Biochemistry, Rutgers-Newark
  • MLS Rutgers
  • Chemistry Librarian, Princeton
  • Biology Librarian, Princeton
  • Biological Sciences Bibliographer & Research Librarian, Princeton
  • Assoc. Prof. of Library Science, Long isand Univ.
  • very temporarily retired.

Current projects:

  • ProjectCOUNTER: Counting Online Usage of Networked Electronic Resources.
  • Open access (analysis & advocacy)
  • Online resources (reviewer and consultant)
  • Scientific publishing (navigating between publishers & libraries)

Interests in CZ:

  • Writing Library-related and publishing-related pages
  • Writing some of the general biology pages
  • Checking the biology for the parts I know enough
  • Possibly working on some of the sexuality-related pages
  • Reference sources for anything (writing or editing)
  • Getting the Public Domain articles in science sourced & upgraded



Working style:

  • I prefer to work incrementally, in hour-size chunks.
  • I'll work with anyone who's willing to work with me
  • I like to consult on major changes
  • and to negotiate off-line

CZ possible minority positions:

  • Sensitive topics can (& must) be written about, & I'm willing to try--"family friendly," generally a code word for US religious fundamentalists, should mean anything that someone in a family might want to know.
  • Distrust of academic specialists who think too much of their credentials
  • Joint effort is usually better than the work of a single author.
  • Almost all math & science articles can & should be written so those without a degree in the subject can understand some of it--and the same for philosophy

WP minority positions:

  • Using PD without exact quotations is plagiarism.
  • POV forks are the clearest way of handling some topics.

(Relatively) absolutist position in any context:

  • Freedom of speech.

Biases (not usually obvious here, I hope):

  • Marxist, Atheist, Jewish, Academic, Internationalist
