[edit] Biography
My name is Brad A. Patrick. I am currently a graduate student in the department of Pharmacology and Toxicology at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, Texas. My research involves lipid peroxidation-mediated intracellular signaling in the retina. I was born in Metairie, LA in 1979 and lived almost exclusively in Baton Rouge since, until I enrolled at UTMB in the fall of 2002. I am a graduate of Louisiana State University, with a BS in biochemistry, minoring in philosophy (class of '02). I'm a member of the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology, and the Society of Free Radical Biology and Medicine. Online I often use the screenname "Floyd Mephit", which I took from a few stories I wrote with the anthropomorphic main character of the same name. I have a weblog on Livejournal [1], and also have my own domain [2], though at present it is little more than a repository for uploaded pictures and a pointer for my blog. I began reading the Wikipedia some time in 2003, and finally made an account in the Fall of 2004.

[edit] Wikipedia-related interests
- My primary interest is simply to correct errors in articles related to my interests.
- Other than that, I mostly like fixing small spelling and grammar mistakes (proofreading) as I randomly crawl the Wikiverse (mostly while I'm at work in the lab -- yes I admit it).
