My name is Heather Piwowar.  A bit daunting?  It’s Polish, so pronounce the Ws like Vs and it gets much easier.

I’m a PhD Candidate in Biomedical Informatics at the University of Pittsburgh.  My research passion is understanding the prevalence and patterns of research data sharing and reuse.  I hope my work contributes to more efficient and effective research data reuse through improved incentives and mandates.

It is a great life, especially when combined with a wonderful husband and the cutest 3 year old in the world.
