about me
My name is George Watson, and I'm a PhD student in computational biophysics at the University of York, focusing on molecular dynamics simulation of supercoiled DNA minicircles. I previously edited as dendodge.
I used to be around a lot more, and was especially active on Wikinews until other commitments got in the way, but I still edit here sometimes and at some point I might make more significant content contributions, particularly in improving coverage of biophysics and my other areas of expertise. Watch this space, I guess.
As a practising scientist, it may on occasion be appropriate to reference works by myself or my colleagues and collaborators in a relevant article. In accordance with conflict of interest policy, I invite additional scrutiny of these contributions. I've linked my account here to my ORCID profile to facilitate this; additional publications and profiles can be found on my institutional webpage.

good articles
 | This user has helped promote 2 good articles on Misplaced Pages. |
I've only contributed significantly to a couple of good articles so far, so this section looks rather sparse right now. I should definitely rectify that at some point.
did you know...
- 2008-11-03: ... that John Philip Sousa's "Transit of Venus March" (listen) was rediscovered by a staffer at the Library of Congress in 2003 after it had been believed lost for over 100 years?
- 2009-03-05: ... that George Frideric Handel's Fitzwilliam Sonatas (No. 3 here) were not originally intended to be a set, and were only designated such in 1948?
- 2009-05-17: ... that the plane of the ecliptic (effect pictured) is the imaginary plane which all the planets in our Solar System share as they orbit the Sun?
- 2009-07-25: ... that the longest horn ever recorded on a Marco Polo sheep (mounted head pictured) measured 1.9 m (6.2 ft) and weighed 60 lb (27 kg)?

awards
I appreciate barnstars and things, and I'm (very) flattered to receive them, but I see no point in keeping an archive of them all here—it strikes me as "trophy collecting", and will probably serve only to inflate my ego (although that won't stop me from giving them out when I feel they're deserved!). However, certain awards are probably worth mentioning.
