Your blood is full of amazing things.

Dvyost awarded me this Barnstar after reading my contributions to Black Consciousness Movement and then reading my burrito article: "I, Dave Yost, hereby award Joewright this Oddball Barnstar for making me hungry at San Francisco Burrito --Dvyost 06:02, 3 December 2005 (UTC)."

I made most of my contributions to Wikipedia as a medical student; I've been an internal medicine resident, graduating in July 2010, and got out of the wiki habit during my residency. I have a blog, hemodynamics.blogspot.com.[2].

I live in the town of Cambridge, Massachusetts.

I have been active in pages relating to South Africa. I have particular interests in AIDS and medicine generally; and I like food.

I'm less active these days but in the past I have been an originator or significant contributor for the following pages, among others:

• San Francisco burrito

• Jacob Zuma
• Thabo Mbeki
• Manto Tshabalala-Msimang
• Zackie Achmat
• Cape Malays
• Cape Flats
• Treatment Action Campaign

A burst of procrastination-driven enthusiasm about hepcidin brought:

• Human iron metabolism
• Anemia of chronic disease
• Hepcidin

• ...and I was able to bring the two sets of interests together with a stub on African iron overload.
