I mostly enjoy spending time adding information to and editing scientific articles, such as:

Galileo spacecraft
Cassini-Huygens
Scintillation and Scintillation counter
Laser and List of laser types
Inertial confinement fusion
certain things nuclear fission and nuclear fusion related
X-ray, Ultraviolet, Gamma rays etc.
Sonoluminescence/Bioluminescence
Superconductor
many others! :)

Also, I like to add (much needed, IMHO) images to articles of a scientific nature. eg. [1]

I am strongly scientifically skeptical and as such I have little patience for pseudoscience or mysticism being inserted into legitimate rational articles on Wikipedia. It seems that this is a common occurrence on Wiki and I do my best to keep NPOV in articles where this is an issue. Though sometimes it is rather difficult!! :o)

Check out my images of light source spectra, they're oh so exciting!

Picture of the day

Drosera capensis, commonly known as the Cape sundew, is a perennial rosette-forming carnivorous plant in the family Droseraceae. It is endemic to the Western Cape and Eastern Cape provinces of South Africa. As in all sundews, the leaves are covered in stalked, mucilage-secreting glands (or 'tentacles') that attract, trap, and digest arthropod prey. When prey is captured, the tentacles bend inward and the leaves curl around it, preventing escape and enhancing digestion by increasing the surface area of the leaf in contact with the prey. This time-lapse video shows a D. capensis leaf curling up around a Mediterranean fruit fly over a period of approximately six hours.Video credit: Scott Schiller
