e-health

Health disparities, which occur disproportionately in under-served communities, have numerous negative social consequences. Despite the fact that the NLM offers many free, high quality eHealth resources to the public, eHealth literacy (the awareness of and use of online consumer health information resources) is too low. Greater awareness of these resources among under-served populations will increase health literacy and reduce health disparities

anomalous literature

Open access publishing's rise in the scholarly community has been rapid as authors and institutions have adopted the model as a cost-effective alternative to traditional publishing. (Albert 2006) Despite the growing acceptance of peer-reviewed open access publishing in the biomedical sciences, few, if any, studies of the self-correcting characteristics of such literature have been undertaken

other projects

Open science and the free flow of quality information give everyone the opportunity to improve their lives with knowledge. I am interested in the flow of information and its reliability and utility to the people who need it.
