It's one of the most common questions we receive.  We are a team    of researchers, writers and editors dedicated to providing short, clear and concise answers to common    questions.  Over the years, we have had hundreds of contributors; you can read some of their profiles    below.\r\n \r\n    If you have any questions or comments, please be sure to    contact us.\r\n \r\n        Johnny is the guru behind the scenes at wiseGEEK.    Like most of the wiseGEEK team, Johnny works with language; but unlike our    writers and editors, Johnny's languages are PHP and SQL.  He ensures that    the website remains accessible and the pages load fast.\r\n \r\nJohnny has a Master's Degree in computer science; in addition to    applying his skill to wiseGEEK development, he has also taught    programming classes at a technical school.\r\n \r\n\"Programming for wiseGEEK is a challenge, but refraining from getting distracted (and educated) by    the content on the site, is even harder.\"\r\n \r\nWhen Johnny is away from his computer, he likes playing the guitar; when he's even farther away, he    enjoys hiking.\r\n \r\n        Amanda Holland is equally passionate about math and grammar, and she has incorporated both into    her career.\r\n \r\nShe spent several years as a signals analyst for the Defense Department, creating and editing reports    for the intelligence community. After her two kids were born, she transitioned to a career as a freelance writer.    When she isn't crafting content, she's usually reading, baking, or playing video games.\r\n \r\n        Lisa Bigelow writes for Bold and is an award-winning content creator, personal finance expert, and    mom of three fantastic almost-adults.\r\n \r\nLisa has contributed to MagnifyMoney, FinanceBuzz, Life and Money by Citi,    Well + Good, Smarter With Gartner, and Popular Science. She lives with her family in Connecticut.\r\n \r\n        Margaret Lipman is a teacher and blogger who frequently writes about topics related to personal    finance, parenting, health, nutrition, and education.\r\n \r\n    Susana Bradford is a conceptual copywriter with more than ten years of editorial experience. She is a frequent contributor on InfoBloom, where she specializes in education and parenting content. She loves to cook Italian food, and likes to play piano and make pottery in her free time.\r\n \r\n        Liza has been involved with wiseGEEK since the middle of 2013. Currently, she is    working closely with the rest of the team to manage site optimization and improve the visitor    experience. She is passionate about tapping into the immense power of technology and the internet to    extend human knowledge and make information available for everyone. \r\n \r\nShe enjoys working for wiseGEEK from San Francisco, CA while taking a break from completing her MBA    at Harvard Business School. She has a B.S. in Commerce    from the University of Virginia. Outside of work,    Liza enjoys reading, hiking, playing tennis, meeting new people, and learning more about technology.\r\n \r\n        Born in the Deep South, Malcolm has a great curiosity about a wide range of subjects.    This desire to know a little about everything has made him a receptacle for all sorts of trivia.  His    home is full of books that cover a wide range of subjects.  A particular favorite is all things connected with    the music scene of the 1960's, as is evidenced by his substantial vinyl    record collection.\r\n \r\nWriting has long been a passion for Malcolm.  Over the years, his work has    appeared in devotional anthologies, poetry collections, and local    newspapers.  While working in the teleconferencing industry, Malcolm was often    responsible for creating text for various marketing and sales pieces.  One    of his greatest pleasures while working in that industry was the chance to    travel and meet clients from all types of businesses and non-profit    organizations.\r\n \r\nAfter leaving the teleconferencing industry in early 2007, Malcolm made the    leap to full time freelance writer.  Several months after making the change,    Malcolm submitted his first article to wiseGEEK and has been happily    submitting work ever since.\r\n \r\nIn addition to wiseGEEK, Malcolm also continues to accept assignments in    print publications and other online sites.  When not actively engaged in    research and writing tasks, Malcolm enjoys spending time with family and    friends, catching a minor league baseball game, collecting vinyl records,    and biking around the city.\r\n \r\n        Michael is a part-time writer for wiseGEEK, specializing in the Science &    Engineering section.  He has contributed over 1,000 articles on paleontology, physics, biology,    astronomy, chemistry, and futurism.  He enjoys writing for wiseGEEK because it lets him earn    money while he familiarizes himself with diverse areas of science.\r\n \r\nMichael is an avid blogger.  His blog has received over 3 million views since its founding in 2006.    It has been covered on G4.TV's Attack of the Show and on Wired.com.\r\n \r\nAt age 18, while still attending High School, Michael founded the Immortality Institute, a grassroots    life extension advocacy organization.  The organization was formed to tap into a new realization in the    scientific community that stem cell research and regenerative medicine could be used in the next couple    decades to radically extend human healthspans.\r\n \r\nMichael has worked for the Singularity Institute for Artificial Intelligence, Methuselah Foundation, and    is currently Fundraising Director for the Lifeboat Foundation.  In May 2007, Michael was profiled for    Psychology Today magazine.  Michael also serves as a director of the World Transhumanist Association.\r\n \r\n        Michael has been a contributing writer to wiseGEEK since 2004.  \r\n \r\nOriginally from the Kent State University area of northeastern Ohio,    Michael now lives in the    Deep South with his wife Amy, also a professional writer.  He enjoys singing karaoke, acting, and    watching movies.  Throughout his adult life, Michael has been a deli cook, published poet, disk jockey,    voice-over artist and English tutor.  He can also be found every Sunday morning playing the organ for a    rural Methodist church.\r\n \r\nMichael likes the opportunity to grow as a writer that wiseGEEK provides.    That way he can sleep better at night, knowing his life's w
1153ork was not in vain.\r\n \r\n        Mary began writing for wiseGEEK in 2006. She loves writing for wiseGEEK    because it offers an opportunity to learn something new and fascinating every day, and to share this    knowledge with others.Mary has a liberal arts degree from    Goddard College, and when she's not writing for    wiseGEEK, she enjoys reading, adventuring in the great outdoors, and cooking, especially with and    for friends. \r\n \r\n        Mary Elizabeth is an author, composer, and licensed teacher, and also freelances for    wiseGEEK. She has published four books in the area of language and literature with Barron's    Educational Series, Inc. and six literature study guides with Garlic Press. She has also written    teacher and student material for a number of major textbook publishers' secondary literature programs,    as well as created content for several music education products offered by Sibelius Software, Ltd. Her    music compositions have been performed in    Vermont, New York, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Utah.\r\n \r\nMary Elizabeth has a B.A. from the University of    Chicago writing program, and an M. Ed. in reading from the    University of Vermont. She has three children and she    lives in Vermont.\r\n \r\nHaving conducted extensive Internet research on a wide variety of topics over a number of years,    Mary Elizabeth has been disenchanted by the amount of misinformation available. She appreciates    the chance to set the record straight through wiseGEEK, for which she has written a wide variety    of articles.\r\n \r\n        Nicole is a freelance writer for wiseGEEK. She lives on the East Coast with her    four children, has a never-ending thirst for knowledge and enjoys researching even the most obscure    topics.  Her main interests are homeschooling, parenting, health, science, and business.  Besides    writing, Nicole has a profound love for playing with her children, reading, camping, and relaxing on    the beach.\r\n \r\n        Jessica has been a wiseGEEK writer since 2008, and enjoys the challenges presented    by each new article she writes.  She has a B.A. in Theater from    UCLA and is currently a second-year graduate student    at the American Film Institute majoring    in screenwriting. Jessica enjoys rum-based cocktails, Maui, Sega genesis games, and arguing about topics    (both wiseGEEK and otherwise) with her big sister Tricia.\r\n \r\n        Dana Hinders earned her BA in journalism and mass communication from    The University of Iowa in May 2003. After her son    was born in November 2004, Dana discovered    that freelance writing allowed her to more effectively balance her work and family responsibilities.    Now, she specializes in creating web content for effective search engine optimization and has written    blogs, sales copy, informational articles, and e-courses.\r\n \r\n        Sheryl Butterfield is a freelance writer in Denver, Colorado. She writes about a    variety of topics, including environmental issues, renewable energy and parenting teenager
1153s.\r\n \r\n        Sara is a freelance writer, artist, and activist. In addition to wiseGEEK, she    writes for print magazines, nonprofit organizations, and websites. She has published a novella through    text messaging, and has several others in progress. The former editor and CitiJo Program Manager of    YouthNoise, she has also managed a restaurant, taught children in Spain, run a handful of student    organizations and retreats, homeschooled a sibling, debated across the country, taught CPR and first    aid, tutored college students, sung in a choir for over a decade, painted faces and interned with    several organizations.\r\n \r\nA graduate of Southeast Missouri State University,    Sara is currently pursuing her Master's Degree in English. Married to her high school sweetheart and    mother to a very tenacious little girl, she loves to read, create, learn, volunteer, play with her    daughter, go on adventures and date her husband.\r\n \r\n        Having walked a vast array of occupational paths throughout most of his 27 years, journalist and    photographer Mitch continues to diversify his writing style as a member of    wiseGEEK. Former editor of Oxford Town, a weekly A&E guide in Oxford, Miss., Mitch has    also written numerous articles, features and industry news for international trade publication    Nightclub & Bar Magazine. He has had published over 150 album reviews on groups from Arcade    Fire to Miles Davis, Os Mutantes to Kris Kristofferson, and beyond.\r\n \r\nHis adoration for music and the media has allowed Mitch close interaction and general mischief with many    of his favorite musical artists including Band of Horses, Wilco, Dent May & His Magnificent Ukelele, as    well as countless literary minds living in or passing through Oxford: a literary landmark of sorts.    William Faulkner anyone?\r\n \r\nMitch currently resides in Tupelo, Mississippi, with his girlfriend Emily and their two dogs, Lucy and    Nico. He dreams of Nashville each and every day and realizes that, pretty soon, his dream will be just    another reality. When he is not juggling test administration and freelance work, you\u2019ll likely find him    reading (or re-reading) classic literature (Steinbeck, Hesse, Vonnegut, Hemingway, and Bradbury)    watching some foreign film you\u2019ve probably never heard of (I Vitelloni, 8 1\/2,    Rashomon, Persepolis), or out in the sunlight, clutching his youth while floating    down a stream of consciousness in a yellow canoe.\r\n \r\n        Margo has been writing for wiseGEEK since 2008. She began her freelance writing    career after studying the culinary arts, psychology, criminal justice, and education. Settled in as a    writer, she's thrilled to be a part of the wiseGEEK family.\r\n \r\n\"Working as a wiseGEEK writer is wonderful,\" she says. \"I'm always learning new things. There's    always something exciting to write about.\"\r\n \r\nWhen she is not working as a writer, Margo is usually busy cooking, reading, or spending time with her    family.\r\n \r\n        Hillary began contributing to wiseGEEK in 2008. Though she spends a good deal of    time writing satirical fiction, the articles she writes for wiseGEEK satisfy her insatiable    curiosity and obsession for research.  A devoted virtual scribe, she also manages an electronic    publishing business that affords her the opportunity to practice skills in graphic design, small    business development, and technical writing intended for online audiences.\r\n \r\nHillary\u2019s info junkie inclinations extend to real life learning about people and places and she tends to    move around &mdash; a lot.  She\u2019s lived in 11 states and countless cities, including a ghost town in Montana    and most recently a historic district at the gateway to the South. There she can walk a block from her    house to check out a bed where Ulysess S. Grant slept, two blocks to view the site of a nifty speech    given by Theodore Roosevelt, and three blocks to eat the best BBQ on the banks of the Mississippi. She    also enjoys hanging out with her daughter whom she homeschools, doing anything artsy, and traveling.\r\n \r\n        Dee is a freelance writer and resident of the beautiful state of Colorado. She has a BA    in English Literature and a JD from a school in Alabama.  Eventually, she decided to focus her energy    on writing and photography &mdash; her true passions.  Dee enjoys living the \"Colorado lifestyle\" with her    husband, children, and yellow lab.\r\n \r\nDee loves the fact that she is a writer for wiseGEEK.  She is constantly telling her friends and    family about the exciting new questions she gets to answer each day.\r\n \r\n        Sarah is a part-time freelance writer for wiseGEEK. She graduated from the    University of Oregon with BAs in Romance Languages (Spanish &    Italian) and Linguistics, and the Monterey Institute of    International Studies with and MA in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages).    She moved to Istanbul in 2002 and taught English in language courses and university for five years. She    currently is a freelance writer and mother while she waits for her son to start school.\r\n \r\nSince starting to write for wiseGEEK in 2009, Sarah has become a fount of obscure knowledge,    eliminating her friends' need for iPhones to look up things on the Internet during teahouse    conversations. This works out fine because iPhones don't work well with the Internet in Turkey yet.\r\n \r\nSarah has a small following of other expats in Turkey at her    blog and is an    av
1153id reader of whatever books in English come her way.  She's a devoted coffee drinker, (usually) a    decent mother, a lousy wife and housekeeper, and her fish always die.\r\n \r\n        Paulla has been a part time writer for wiseGEEK since April of 2005.  Her    background includes a B.A. in English Literature from    George Mason University, more than 15 years of    freelance writing, and the full time job of homeschooling her three children, the oldest of whom just    graduated from high school this spring.  Originally from the western United States, Paulla and her    husband are raising their family in a small town in Maine.  They love to read, watch movies, attend    sporting events, and listen to music of any kind.\r\n \r\nCurrently, Paulla is the editor of a website about her home state and she continues to homeschool her    two middle-school aged daughters.  In addition to teaching and learning with her children, she loves    hiking and spending time outdoors.\r\n \r\nPaulla enjoys the flexibility and consistency of wiseGEEK and its staff, as well as the ability to    continuously learn.\r\n \r\n\"wiseGEEK has been the most satisfying company to work for in all my experience of freelance    writing.  The topics are clear and straight forward, and I always learn something new.\"\r\n \r\n        Jeff is a freelance writer in Berkeley, CA, who finds wiseGEEK a perfect    opportunity to put all his esoteric knowledge to good use. He graduated from    Creighton University with a BA in    English\/Creative Writing and a minor in Biology. \r\n \r\nJeff is a part-time wiseGEEK contributor, part-time short story writer, and part-time novelist.    With a knack for multi-tasking and a love of the Bay Area, he manages to find time to rollerblade, rock    climb, hike, and in true geek fashion, play a variety of computer, role playing, and board games.\r\n \r\n        Tricia has been part of the wiseGEEK team since 2006, and in that time she\u2019s    contributed more than 2,500 articles to the site.  As a graduate in literature from    Sonoma State University, her passion in life is    reading, reading, and then more reading, and she is extraordinarily grumpy when she runs out of books.    Writing, as the natural extension of reading, has served Tricia well as a wiseGEEK contributor.    She\u2019s been able to explore more of her interests, researching topics including medicine, art, film,    history, politics, ethics, and religion. Tricia remains fascinated by the connectivity between    different areas of thought and knowledge,    and hopes her work helps to create bridges of understanding between reader, writer and topic.  Tricia    lives in Northern California with her beloved husband of over 15 years and her two sons, and is    continuing work on her first novel. \r\n \r\n\"wiseGEEK gives me an opportunity to view the world from so    many different perspectives and explore such diverse avenues of    thought.   I love finding the answers to our readers' questions and    find it wonderful to have a job that allows me to constantly learn new    things!\"\r\n \r\nSheri began writing for wiseGEEK in April, 2006.    When she joined wiseGEEK, Sheri was working full time as a copywriter in a marketing agency. She    has a degree in English and communications, plus a minor in marketing. Sheri writes for wiseGEEK    regularly and also freelances from her home office where she writes a variety of creative and corporate    copy for clients in the United States and Canada. \r\n \r\nSheri lives in Vancouver BC Canada in a small, but elegant apartment. She loves her Tabby-Siamese cat,    Audrey, reality TV, reading and walking around her neighborhood. She is grateful to be able to be a    regular contributor to wiseGEEK and loves reflecting on, analyzing and synthesizing information    to create relevant, informative articles. \r\n \r\n        Diane is the Managing Editor of Black Lawrence Press and the Editor of The Adirondack    Review. As an undergraduate, she studied at Sarah Lawrence College and Oxford University. She is    currently working on her M.A. in Literature. Diane lives in Brooklyn with one architect and two    chinchillas.\r\n \r\n        Niki focuses on editing articles for wiseGEEK.\r\n \r\nShe graduated from UCLA with a B.A. in Linguistics    and Anthropology, and plans to pursue higher education in linguistics after taking a year off.\r\n \r\n    Outside of school and work, Niki is an avid reader and enjoys travel, dancing, and playing the Sims.    She loves the flexibility of working for wiseGEEK, her friendly colleagues, and learning new    things every day from the articles she edits.\r\n \r\n        Karyn Maier is a professional writer, editor, and book author with expertise in    botanical medicine and green living topics. She has    authored more than 300 magazine articles and columns for numerous    consumer and industry health-related publications in the US, 
1153Canada,    and the UK. She has authored four books, which are published in    four languages.\r\n \r\nKaryn has also filled many roles in the online social networking and    media segments in terms of online community development and    facilitation, project management, and content production. In addition    to contributing to wiseGEEK, Karyn continues to develop her skills as    a web producer, managing editor, and online community coordinator.\r\n \r\nKaryn lives with her husband in the majestic Catskill Mountain region    of New York surrounded by woods, a view of three mountain peaks, and    natural waterfalls.
