Editor-in-Chief

I am a professor and dean emerita at the University of Maryland iSchool, where I was dean for ten years. Prior to that I was department chair of Information Systems at University of Maryland, Baltimore County, and before that I was a professor in London and at the British Open University (OU), a large, innovative distance education institution that focuses on providing university information for all. At the OU I worked in the Biology and Computing Departments and in the Institute of Educational Technology. My research and teaching focuses on human-computer interaction, and the application and design of digital technologies to support and leverage citizen science, particularly focusing on the issues of participation, retention, community and scientific practice. I currently spend several months a year in Vancouver, BC, Canada where I am excited to be a member of Stanley Park Ecological Society.

Board Members

I am the public engagement manager at the Wellcome Trust Centre for Molecular Parasitology which is based at the University Glasgow in the UK. I have carried out research on online citizen science projects exploring patterns of participation and motivation to participate. I am interested in the potential of citizen science for public engagement and citizen science games such as Foldit, EteRNA and MalariaSpot. http://oro.open.ac.uk/view/person/vc964.html

Managing Editor

I am a Maine-based editor with a BA from Skidmore College, an MA in English/Writing from the University of New Hampshire, and an MFA in Writing/Fiction from Boise State University. As an in-house Production Editor for Annual Reviews, I oversaw all aspects of production across three scientific disciplines and proofread across more than forty. As a freelance editor, I've improved the clarity of papers, reports, and all manner of research and application materials for government offices, university faculty, and postdoctoral students. Most recently, I copyedited and managed production for The Future of Bluefin Tunas (2019), published by Johns Hopkins University Press. When I'm not editing, I write, teach cooking classes, ski, hike, scrape old paint from an even older sailboat, and endeavor to learn about the places where ocean, food, and culture intersect.
