I’m so glad you’re here — thank you for visiting the Martin and Bosco Tumblr project website!
I’m Laura — a freelance data scientist, former academic STEM librarian, and resigned Tumblr Ancient. I hold graduate degrees in chemistry and library & information science. Both disciplines share a deep affinity for structure, evidence, and data, which led me to pursue a variety of data certifications from educational institutions and professional organizations. My interest in data science is also why I serve on a range of professional committees, including the Medical Library Association (MLA), Research Data Access & Preservation (RDAP), and the CaRCC AI Facilitation Working Group.
Mostly, I just enjoy vigorously shaking a dataset and watching the story fall out. I’m equally passionate about AeroPress coffee, workingline German Shepherd Dogs, and zombie dystopian fiction. Home is a tiny town on the beautiful north shore of Lake Erie in Ontario.
