Article Evaluation[edit]

Oxygen-Hemoglobin Dissociation Curve

1. Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you?

  • Everything is relevant. I could many separate a few paragraphs so that they are not so lengthy. The use of the theta symbol in the temperature section is pretty distracting.

2. Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?

  • The article is neutral and does not appear to be biased in any way.

3.Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented? No. 4. Check a few citations. Do the links work? Does the source support the claims in the article?

  • The first reference does not work.
  • There are hardly any in-text citations.
  • The citations do work though and display the appropriate reference.

5. Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference? Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that bias noted?

  • No, there are hardly any in-text citations and there are whole sections that do not have a reference.

6. Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added?

  • A discussion of heme could be added to the section of background information.
  • Effects of ITPP are not highly discussed.

7. Check out the Talk page of the article. What kinds of conversations, if any, are going on behind the scenes about how to represent this topic?

  • They appear to be having a fight about how hemoglobin is spelled.
  • There is also discussion on how exactly carbon dioxide shifts the oxygen-saturation curve through the Bohr Effect.

8. How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects?

  • The article is part of three WikiProjects (WikiProject Physiology, WikiProject Medicine, and WikiProject Molecular and Cell Biology)
  • The article did not appear to be rated.

9. How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class?

  • It does not differ drastically. It offers many good explanations for the sigmoidal curve and the effect that different factors on the shape and affinity for oxygen.

Fanny Hitchcock[edit]

Fanny Rysan Mulford Hitchcock (February 7, 1851 - 1936)[1] was one of only 13 women to receive their doctorates in chemistry in the 1800s, [2] and the first woman to receive a doctorate in Philosophy of Chemistry from the University of Pennsylvania. She made contributions to entomology, fish osteology, and plant pathology.[3]. She began her studies at Columbia University publishing several papers, and then transferred to the University of Pennsylvania. She worked at many colleges including University of Berlin and University of Pennsylvania. She worked at the University of Pennsylvania for nineteen years and devoted her life to helping women pursuing an education at the university.

Life[edit]

She was born on February 7th, 1851 to Elizabeth and Julius S. Hitchcock [3]. She began her studies at Columbia University, and then transferred to the University of Pennsylvania to further her education in Chemistry. She received her doctorate in Philosophy of Chemistry at the University of Pennsylvania. In pursuit of science she then worked at the chemistry department at the University of Berlin in 1892 and returned to the University of Pennsylvania after a year to become the first Director of the Women's Graduate Department.[3]. She held this position for nineteen years. Her financial support helped to establish a women's athletic program at the University of Pennsylvania [1]. She also attempted to establish one or more undergraduate courses for women at the University of Pennsylvania, but her proposal was rejected by the trustees of the University [1].Aside from her academic studies and positions at various universities, she maintained a laboratory in both her home in Philadelphia and her country residence in Warwick, New York [1]. In 1921, she retired from her life as a chemist at seventy years old and donated all of her equipment to the University of Pennsylvania [1].She was known to support the financial needs of students who could not afford to attend the University [1].She died at the age of eighty-five on September 25th, 1936 in her Warwick country residence.
