I have been an editor and contributor since 8 April 2007, focusing mainly on health and biology-related articles. I have written eight articles that have appeared on the Main Page as Todays' Featured Article. I was a Featured Article Candidates' Delegate for four years from 2012 to 2016 and I promoted 502 articles to FA status. In real life, I am a National Health Service microbiologist. My research papers are listed on PubMed here: [https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=Beards+G.] and Google Scholar [https://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=en&user=uEzFoJIAAAAJ]. "Rotavirus vaccination has saved hundreds of thousands of children’s lives from diarrhea" [https://www.contagionlive.com/view/rotavirus-vaccination-is-cost-effective-and-saves-lives-analysis-finds-public-health-watch]

The most unhelpful comment I have ever received from a FAC reviewer

Can I be the writing instructor that I am in real life and ask you to try harder?

Here's some excellent advice
