Julia Stewart Lowndes is a marine ecologist and advocate for the open science movement and kinder, better science. [1] [2] The focus of her work is promoting openness to data in the scientific community, and helping fellow researchers learn how to work with open data and the processes surrounding it. [3] [4] She seeks to use this method to promote scientific communities and research. [5] [2]
Career and experience
Stewart Lowndes is the founder and co-director of Openscapes, a mentorship program that teaches researchers how to use data and code in their labs, work with open-source software, and network with peers in the same field. [6] She also is an instructor for The Carpentries, as well as the co-founder of the groups Eco-Data-Science and R-Ladies Santa Barbara. [2] Lowndes was a Mozilla Fellow. [3] She has led the Ocean Health Index science program in the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis, where she currently works. [6] [1] Lowndes frequently speaks at conferences regarding the use of data in science and the promotion of open scientific communities, recently including SORTEE and Cascadia R Conference. [7] [2]
Education
She received her PhD from Stanford University. [5] Her dissertation, completed in 2012, was on the Humboldt squid; she observed the drivers and impact of the species with relation to the changing climate. [8] [5] [9]
