About my work
I am interested in understanding and building processes for creating and distributing knowledge. In particular I am driven to enable the accumulation of useful knowledge about the human genome such that that knowledge can be applied to improve the human condition. This drive has lead me on a path from cognitive science, through machine learning, to bioinformatics and most recently to ‘community intelligence’ or ‘crowdsourcing’. At Scripps I participate in the development of the following related projects:
- Gene Wiki
- genegames.org – especially “The Cure”
- biobranch.org
Publications (pre 2013)
Google Scholar has taken over responsibility for updating this list for me. See my profile there.
