A kidney.
A kidney.

A Wikipedian. The name Nephron comes from the structural unit of the kidney. I have an interest in nephrology and started the Wikipedia Nephrology project. I also started the Wikipedia Radiology project.

I've been around WP since mid-2005 and have a couple of thousand edits.

My undergraduate studies were in engineering. Currently, I'm studying medicine. If things go to plan, I'll in the not-so-distant future have a freshly minted MD.
