I haven't beta-read before, but I'd be willing to learn on the job. I'm very good with spellings (British, so I can't vouch for spotting Americanisms), and not too shabby with grammar (even if I do forget what the different parts of it are called!).
I'm reasonably fluent in Greco-Roman, Celtic, Norse, and Egyptian mythology.
I've a bachelor's degree in Microbiology, so I've got bits and pieces of theoretical knowledge of microbes (medical and environmental), experimental and biotechnology techniques, marine ecology and general biological stuff... I should probably also mention that as it's been a few years I might be a little rusty - and I haven't yet moved my books into my new house, but I'm sure I can google anything I've forgotten!
Aside from that, I've a somewhat rusty familiarity with A-Level (roughly age 17-18) Physics and Chemistry, and things like music (classical/playing piano/recorder/brass) and ballet.
On the canon side of things, I only own three trade paperbacks at the moment. Mostly due to the fact that while I'm OK with hurt-comfort, I don't deal with full-on angst very well, so I promised myself I'd not get into Civil War or its aftermath unless there looked to be an emotional up-turn in the writing.
