Earthdirt is not my real name, it's Chris Packard. Some years back I moved from Ohio to Maine. I am a teacher, a botanist, naturalist, and ecologist by training and by choice.
I currently teach at a high school and am serving as the lead editor for WikiProject AP Biology 2019, it is an annual exam project for my AP Biology class since 2012.
I am mostly interested in biology and science articles, particularly plants and chickens. I like to edit mostly for content and accuracy. I am also interested in law, education, and religion related articles.
is hereby awarded to Earthdirt for doing an outstanding job producing the List of basic cell biology topics, and for going far beyond expectations by including a definition for each presented topic. Thank you for creating such a useful resource for newcomers to this subject. It's fantastic! The Transhumanist 03:50, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
