{{cquote|Professional: In the field I am working, the boundaries between basic sciences are almost non-existent. However, I have formation only in physics. When I need to understand the concept behind a technical term used in an other field, like biology or chemistry, the wikipedia is a very good starting point that often saves a lot of time. |

Personal: My favorite hobby is to hunt articles using the random button. It is hard for me to grasp the size of this planet, the amount of people that live in it, and the amount of time it has been here just looking at the figures. They are just numbers afterall, it is for me the stories and explanations that count. I especially like learning about other cuktures, it always amazes me when I learn something I call "normal" is just a regional habit.}} |

{{cquote|I was in high school when Wikipedia began coming to prominence. I would do a general search for random topics, and this new site called "Wikipedia" would always be in the first three results. Needless to say, I began using it as my go-to source for an initial summary and basic information. Over time, it has become more refined, and my quantum mechanics professor at Cornell University even said that Wikipedia had a better summary than our textbook for a particular topic. |
