I am an Australian Research Student (in Geography: mainly virtual places and spaces) from Sydney. This year, I am writing my thesis on online collaborative communities and citizenship, and wikipedia is my case study.

Thank you to the many, many people who volunteers to be interview subjects for my research. The thesis will be ready at the end of October, when I will post it on the site.

Cheers,

tamsin

Picture of the day Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin (1900–1979) was a British-born American astronomer and astrophysicist who proposed in her 1925 doctoral thesis that stars were composed primarily of hydrogen and helium. Her groundbreaking conclusion was initially rejected because it contradicted the scientific wisdom of the time, which held that there were no significant elemental differences between the Sun and Earth. Independent observations eventually proved she was correct. Her work on the nature of variable stars was foundational to modern astrophysics.Photograph credit: Science Service; restored by Adam Cuerden
