Hi! I'm Emily Temple-Wood, known as Keilana around here. (Just because I get asked sometimes, it's pronounced "Kay-lah-nah" or "Kay", not "Key".) I've been around the project since April 2007 on and off due to the vast life changes that happen between the ages of 12 and 29. I'm an administrator—I passed RfA in November 2007 and January 2008. While I was in college, I developed a kit for running anti-systemic bias workshops at institutions. I write mainly about women scientists and medicine, through WikiProject Women Scientists and WikiProject Women's Health. My other interests are all over the place.

Sleeping is one of my favorite pastimes.

In real life, I'm a rural family medicine doctor in Minnesota. I have a bachelor's degree in molecular biology from Loyola University Chicago, and a D.O. from Midwestern University; I completed my residency in Family Medicine at Advocate Lutheran General Hospital. I've spent time as a medical assistant and EMT-B as well. My research during undergrad was in Drosophila developmental biology, focusing on gonadal and nervous system morphogenesis. I'm here much less than I used to be, what with the medical training, but try to pop in wherever I can.
