Scientific editor, open science advocate
https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2003-9573
I am currently the Editor-in-Chief Patterns, a leading data science journal. I previously launched Scientific Data, and have worked at the Biotechnology Journal, Advanced Genetics, and Molecular Systems Biology.
Prior to my editorial career, I did research work in developmental biology and genome evolution. I also did a short stint in science policy, working with the policy team at the Leibniz DMSZ on issues related to the equitable sharing of genetic data from biodiversity. I continue to be involved in this important issue as a volunteer member of the DSI Scientific Network.
I am committed to promoting open science and believe we ultimately aid society by building a more fair and transparent research culture.
I live in Würzburg with my wife and a pair of turtle-shaped tables.
