Michael Reeve, PhD (born November 5, 1975) currently works for the City of Westminster in central London, as a performance analyst for the Licensing department. He was born in St Bartholomew's Hospital, and is therefore a Cockney by birth, though doesn't have the Cockney accent. He is an overweight, self-absorbed non-entity, who likes to refer to himself in the third person.

[edit] Life

He graduated from Brasenose College, Oxford University in 1997 with a BA in Biological Sciences. He then studied for a PhD in evolutionary genetics at University College London, completing his thesis in 2001, and graduating in 2003. His thesis title was Temperature, Body Size and Life History in Drosophila melanogaster. He can talk at great length about why right-thinking people shouldn't pursue a career in academic scientific research, particularly in the United Kingdom.

His main hobbies are reading, television, cinema and travelling. He maintains a website of photographs from his travels. In 2003, he visited California and Peru, and in 2004 visited Paris three times, as well as visiting Japan, Bangladesh, Sikkim and Bhutan. In 2005, he went to Bilbao, visited northern Sweden to go husky sledding in the Arctic Circle, went to Mongolia to attend the Naadam festival, and travelled through Australia and New Zealand. In 2006, he went walking in the Lake District and made a short trip to Prague.

His favourite authors predictably include; Haruki Murakami, John Steinbeck, Douglas Coupland, Chuck Palahniuk, Nevil Shute, Philip Pullman, Alfred Bester and Iain M. Banks.

One day, he plans to read and finish The Naked Lunch, but that day is not today.

He joined Wikipedia on December 14, 2003, and has been an administrator since May 8, 2004.
