I graduated with my PhD from the Department of Biomedical Informatics in the School of Medicine at the University of Pittsburgh. I successfully defended my thesis, entitled “Foundational studies for measuring the impact, prevalence, and patterns of publicly sharing biomedical research data”, on March 24rd, 2010 under the supervision of my dissertation advisor Dr Wendy Chapman.

My thesis is dedicated to two people:
my daughter Kira, without whom I’d never have started
and my husband John, without whom I’d never have finished.
I sincerely thank Dr Wendy Chapman, DBMI, the NLM, and all of the people and organizations who supported me during this process.
yay done
