about

I am a postdoc research associate, funded by the NSF DataONE cyberinfrastructure project.  I’m working with the Dryad team at NESCent, focusing on analysis of data sharing and reuse behaviour.  I am working remotely from Vancouver Canada, with a home base in the Biodiversity building in the Department of Zoology at the University of British Columbia.
My research focuses on studying the patterns, prevalence and impact of data sharing and reuse behaviour of “small science” post-publication datasets.  My doctoral research focused on biomedical data, particularly gene expression research.  My postdoc work, in contrast, will concentrate on data in evolution and ecology.

Heather PiwowarI’m currently working full time on ImpactStory (nee total-impact), a web application that helps scholars tell the impact story of their research, featuring traditional and non-traditional metrics of articles, datasets, software, slides, and blog posts.  Check it out and follow us on Twitter at @impactstory.

I do this work as a postdoc at Duke University and NESCent, working remotely from Vancouver Canada.  My research focuses on studying the patterns, prevalence and impact of data sharing and reuse behaviour of “small science” post-publication datasets.
