Associate Professor of Molecular Microbiology and Immunology at OHSU, School of Medicine
Publishing in its current form does not serve the scientific community or the public well enough. Scientists have an ever increasing work load and following the most relevant science becomes harder and harder. Taxpayers have a right to access publicly funded research results. I am excited to be part of an initiative to improve how we disseminate scientific information, and I believe the discovery stack pilot will be a milestone in this process. I am passionate about making science more open, inclusive and diverse. I recently volunteered as an ad hoc editor for a postdoc who wanted to publish their science on a public server but acquire reviews nevertheless. My lab is part of several internship programs that are aimed at increasing diversity in science, and I encourage my trainees to join initiatives and mentoring activities themselves. I attend training such as the CIMER training for culturally aware mentoring on a regular basis.
