Some ideas for contributions
Hi Mary, welcome aboard CZ. Roger has already given you some hints as to how things work here in general, and I wish to add some more practical hints on what possibilities you have to contribute. For a start, I just took some of the keywords from the information you supplied upon registration, and display below the current state of the related CZ articles (for documentation, see Template:Rpl/Doc):
Immunology: The study of all aspects of the immune system in all animals. [e]
Pathogen: The organism that causes an infectious disease [e]- Biofilm: Layers of organic material composed of and produced by microorganisms. [e]
- Ulcer: Add brief definition or description
- Wound: Damage to either human or animal skin. [e]
- Host: Please do not use this term in your topic list, because there is no single article for it. Please substitute a more precise term. See Host (disambiguation) for a list of available, more precise, topics. Please add a new usage if needed.
- Renaissance: Cultural movement that spanned roughly the 14th to the 17th century, beginning in Florence in the Late Middle Ages and later spreading to the rest of Europe. [e]
Medicine: The study of health and disease of the human body. [e]- PhD: A common abbreviation for Doctor of Philosophy. [e]

Returning to Citizendium: an update on the project and how to get involved
Hello - some time ago you became part of the Citizendium project, but we haven't seen you around for a while. Perhaps you'd like to update your public biography or check on the progress of any pages you've edited so far.
Citizendium now has over 16,000 articles, with more than 150 approved by specialist Editors such as yourself, but our contributor numbers require a boost. We have an initiative called 'Eduzendium' that brings in students enrolled on university courses to write articles for credit, but we still need more Editors across the community to write, discuss and approve material. There are some developed Biology and Health Sciences articles that could be improved and approved, and some high-priority Biology and Health Sciences articles that we don't have yet. You can also create new articles via this guide, and contribute to some Biology or Health Sciences pages that have been recently edited here and here - or to any others on Citizendium, since you're a general Author as well as a specialist Editor. You may like to contribute to discussions in the forums, and might consider running for an elected position on the Management and Editorial Councils that oversee the project.
If you have any questions, let me know via my Talk page or by leaving a message below this one. Thank you for signing up and reading this update; I hope that you will look in on our community soon. John Stephenson 13:30, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
