About Me
I am a PhD chemist-turned-data management evangelist, author, and the Biology & Biological Engineering Librarian at Caltech.
My professional interests include data management, data privacy, data policy, and converting the world to ISO 8601 (YYYY-MM-DD). When not thinking about data, I drink lots of tea, knit and sew, and enjoy being a California transplant.
Booklist
I am the author of three books:
- "Data Management for Researchers" from Pelagic Publishing in 2015
- "Managing Data for Patron Privacy", written with Becky Yoose, from ALA Editions in 2022
- "The Research Data Management Workbook" from Caltech Library in 2023
See the books page for more information on each book and links to purchase/download.
'Data Ab Initio' Blog
Please visit my blog, Data Ab Initio, to learn practical tips for managing research data. This is the blog I wish was available when I was a research chemist.
