I recently started editing Wikipedia, loving it so far.

I'm in civil engineering, but very interested in all things STEM. I'm fascinated by languages and hope to learn more throughout my life. I grew up in the US but went to a French-German trinational university, with the classes taught in french/german, so I can definitely edit articles/read sources in those languages, except for nuanced copyediting.

I follow international news and I'm very passionate about freely accessible good accurate information, and that knowing the original source of information is critical.

My favorite book is Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach, but this is more of a pensive short story; I also love reading fantasy.

Happy editing! Feel free to talk to me on my talk page.

Van der Grinten projection
The van der Grinten projection is a compromise map projection that is neither equal-area nor conformal. It projects the entire Earth into a circle, though the polar regions are subject to extreme distortion. The projection was proposed by Alphons J. van der Grinten in 1904, and, unlike perspective projections, is an arbitrary geometric construction on the plane. It was adopted as the National Geographic Society's reference map of the world from 1922 until 1988.Map credit: Strebe, using Geocart
