I am happy to announce that I will be joining @Yale as a Cultural Heritage Data Scientist!! I’m really looking forward to working with the team there. I will be using data science and machine learning to help expand Yale’s Lux system as well as other things.
I have enjoyed the past four years at @SIDataScience as a postdoc. It has been the best working environment and I cannot believe how fortunate I have been to work at the Smithsonian with a wonderful team. I was hired during the pandemic and worked remotely the whole time. Despite this, I feel like I was able to forge close working relationships and even friendships with everyone on the team.
I want to especially thank Rebecca Dikow (@rdikow) who believed in me four years ago. She has been an incredible supervisor and supporter, especially during the challenging early career years. I also want to thank Alex White (@aewhite100) who has not only been a close colleague and supervisor, but also helped support my ever-expanding interests over the past year. They have both been excellent mentors and guided me from postdoc to the job market. I cannot thank them enough!
I also want to thank all the other members of the Data Science team and the Smithsonian generally who have given me the best postdoc experience anyone could ask for.
I’m sad to be leaving but looking forward to this next chapter!

So many memories from the kids spending their toddler and preschool years at @SEECstories, to participating in Sec. Bunch’s installation, to visiting the Smithsonian in Panama, and having the opportunity to mentor so many wonderful students and postdocs. A lot to reflect on. 2/3

Did you know that less than 20% of Wikipedia articles are about the accomplishments of women?
A team of @Smithsonian experts is working to change that, using artificial intelligence and good old fashioned research skills.

Vicki’s collaborative spirit continues to inspire me. I know she would love to see this work being done, and it is so sad that she is not here to see it. But we will keep pressing forward, imagining a more inclusive landscape in collections-based research.
