Andreas Vesalius

  • If you happen to know about the Father of Modern Anatomy, Andreas Vesalius (1514-1564), you can help the collaborative group writing an encyclopedia entry on his life and work and legacy.
  • The group-writing takes place at Citizendium, the spin-off from Wikipedia that aims to produce an expert-guided and expert-vetted free online encyclopedia, authoritative and reliable.

  • If you have something to add to the Vesalius article, or comment on it, and don't want to use the wiki editor, email me at anthony_sebastian@msn.com.  I will try to work it in.
  • Send as attachment, format: doc, docx, pdf.  No 'point-of-view' stuff, and provide source citations.
