Working on the Information Architecture Gateway. I am an information scientist.

My graduate & professional work is in Library & Information Sciences with a specialty in Human/Computer Interfaces...particularly search (retrieval) interfaces.

My undergraduate degree is in Genetics & Developmental Biology from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I've worked in medical/biochemistry labs for over 10 years.

I am also an editor of an academic journal. I review articles on search, findability, usability studies, user experience (UX) information architecture, & the like.

You can talk to me about any Science Gateway & how to make it more usable & findable.
