Kirk A. Bartholomew


Hello, my name is Kirk A. Bartholomew, and I'm currently an assistant professor of biology at Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, CT. I initially learned about OpenWetWare from a Website search for information on Nanodrop spectrophotometers, and I've joined primarily to use OWW to create a resource for my research students. My research is strictly at the undergraduate level and the high turnover rate among students working in my lab often leads to "protocol confusion". It is my hope, that an easily editable source of lab protocols will alleviate some of the semester to semester confusion. In addition, I am hoping that the site will become a central repository for the limited number of labs who work on the basidiomycete fungus Schizophyllum commune. You can email me through OpenWetWare.

Basic Wiki Instructions

 * 4) Editing pages is as easy as that.  There are of course many ways to format your text.  The easiest way to learn is to find an OWW page with the formatting you like, click on the edit button again, and see for yourself how it was created in the text box.  Here's an extensive list of formating examples. Or look at this OpenWetWare introductory tutorial.
 * 5) When you are done, remove these instructions by clicking the edit button for this section again, erase everything you see in the text box and click 'Save Page'. (And remember you can always retrieve these by clicking on the 'history' tab at the top of this page.)

Note that these instructions apply to any page on OWW. Feel free to contribute to OWW by editing pages to add content, update them, or even correct mistakes. OWW relies on an active community to manage our growing resource of open access information, and we need your help!

Personal/Lab Info
We have gone ahead and filled in some information you provided us in your membership application at the top of this page. Please take a moment to embellish this and tell the community a little more about you. Put links to your lab pages, your projects and your interests. If you run out of ideas, take a look at some of the other User pages. For example, check out User:Julius_B._Lucks, User:Jason_R._Kelly and User:Reshma_P._Shetty.

You'll also notice that we have put an 'image' placeholder at the top of the page. We encourage you to upload an image of yourself to give OWW a more personal feel. To upload an image, click on the Upload file link on the left-hand side (toolbar). Choose a file from your computer, and remember the file name. After you have uploaded the image, you should see it loaded on its own page. User your browser's back button to come back to this page, click on edit, and replace 'OWWEmblem.png' with the name of your file that you have uploaded in the second line of this page.

Don't forget to remove these instructions from this page when you are done!
