Some ideas for contributions
Hi William, welcome aboard CZ. Ruth 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 related CZ articles (for documentation, see Template:Rpl/Doc):
Health: The default state of an organism under optimal conditions, a state characterized by the absence of disease and by the slowest natural rate of senescing. [e]
Medicine: The study of health and disease of the human body. [e]- Postdoc: Add brief definition or description
- Hospital: Add brief definition or description
- Molecular medicine: Add brief definition or description
- Vasculature: Add brief definition or description
- Blood: The body fluid that circulates in the vascular system (i.e., blood vessels). Whole blood includes plasma and blood cells. [e]
- Endothelium: Add brief definition or description
- Gene: The functional unit of heredity. [e]
- Cell biology: The study of the components of biological cells and their interactions. [e]
- Signaling pathway: Add brief definition or description
- Scientific journal: A publication venue for original research and scholarly review articles — for more than three centuries on paper and now increasingly online. [e]
- Research peer review: Evaluation by experts of the quality and pertinence of research or research proposals of other experts in the same field. [e]
- Toronto: 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 Toronto (disambiguation) for a list of available, more precise, topics. Please add a new usage if needed.
Finally, in case you assign homework to students, please consider doing so via Eduzendium articles.
