Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/PZ Myers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Original - Paul Zachary "PZ" Myers, biology professor at the University of Minnesota Morris (UMM) and the author of the science blog Pharyngula. He is a public critic of intelligent design and of the creationist movement in general, and is an activist in the American creation-evolution controversy. He is also noted for his work on zebrafish and evo-devo.
Reason
A very good picture of a notable publiciser of biology, whose blog, Pharyngula, was listed by Nature as the top-ranking blog written by a scientist. In addition to its general quality, it was provided by PZ Myers himself, and this is exactly the sort of thing that we want to encourage people to do.

Weak oppose -- encyclopedic and meritorious, but just about zero zip. Not really FP material, imo. But a fine contribution. Cheers, Pete Tillman (talk) 03:24, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
