Hello, fellow Wikipedians. I'm a scholar in the multidisciplinary field known as Science and technology studies (STS). (STS people and anyone else with STS interests: please visit the STS Wiki, which was started in November, 2005. And please contribute. STS Wiki contains STS-related material that doesn't belong in Wikipedia, such as a guide to STS programs, STS bibliographies, and much more).
