[[File:Mad-portrait-photo-201910.jpg|200px|thumb|Mad eagerly tearing apart [https://twitter.com/madprime/status/979833858039271425 another terrible blockchain idea].]]

I am Executive Director of Open Humans Foundation and co-founder of [https://www.openhumans.org Open Humans]. My research involvement is more "meta" these days: I help others do it. With Open Humans, we try to enable a new approach for research in health and human subjects research, focusing on personal data. Our work is generally "open" and strives to enable peer production, enabling individuals to create and share tools for getting personal data, analyzing it, and potentially contributing it to aggregate projects (from patient groups to citizen scientists, as well as traditional academic studies). I'm also a Shuttleworth Foundation Fellow (alum) and a member of the BoD of MyData Global.

Open Humans was inspired by my dual histories in genomics research and free/open culture. My PhD was in biotech and postdoc work involved running George Church's Personal Genome Project, which invited people to donate genome & health data to science by making it public – where I learned a lot about personal data and human subjects research. I'm also familiar with free/open culture folks for well over a decade, contributing here and there; one of my favorite past projects was helping create an offline copy of Wikipedia for OLPC distributed in Peru & Uruguay (my role was creating the article list, mostly based on traffic & connectivity data).

I live in San Diego, but online you can find me on [http://twitter.com/madprime @madprime on Twitter], in the [http://slackin.openhumans.org Open Humans slack group], and sometimes IRC (madprime) – or reach me by email (mad) at openhumans.org.

I am a longtime Wikipedia contributor (as [[:w:User:HaeB|User:HaeB]]) and editor of the [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Newsletter Wikimedia Research Newsletter], a monthly publication surveying and reviewing recent academic research about Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects, which I co-founded in 2011 with my then-colleague Dario Taraborelli at the Wikimedia Foundation. I am also one of the two maintainers of the associated [https://twitter.com/wikiresearch @WikiResearch] Twitter feed. For the past several years, I have joined Mako, Aaron and others in presenting an annual [https://wikimania2018.wikimedia.org/wiki/Program/State_of_Wikimedia_Research_2017-2018 "State of Wikimedia Research"] overview at the Wikimania community conference, where I have also presented on other data and research topics such as the question  [https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e1/Which_parts_of_a_%28Wikipedia%29_article_are_actually_being_read_%28Wikimania_2018%29.pdf which parts of a Wikipedia article people actually read]. 

My work as a data analyst on the Wikimedia Foundation's [https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Product_Analytics&oldid=3173327 Product Analytics team] included controlled experiments and exploratory data analysis to support the development of new software features for Wikipedia readers and contributors, and the analysis of core readership metrics like pageviews. With the Foundation's web team, I drove the implementation of a new metric designed to better understand reader engagement, based on an instrumentation of time spent on page (dwell time). This became the subject of a [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Reading_time research project] with Nate TeBlunthuis and my then-colleague Olga Vasileva, with findings e.g. about differences in reading behavior between users in the Global South and the Global North.

My academic background is in pure mathematics, with degrees from the University of Cambridge and the University of Bonn. I am based in San Francisco and can be reached via Gmail ("HaeBwiki") and as "HaeB" on IRC (Freenode).

I'm a PhD candidate in the Human-Centered Design and Engineering department at University of Washington, co-advised by Mako Hill and Jennifer Turns. I describe my research goal as to understand and support collaborative informal learning in online communities of creators. I am interested in studying how different types of collaborative activities (e.g. feedback exchange, collaborative sense-making) lead to different learning outcomes, and designing for more effective collaboration to facilitate learning. Right now I am especially interested in the domain of data science learning among non-technical population.

Outside research, I like cats, drawing (mostly fanart these days), reading, cooking, hiking, hapkidoing, and preaching about my mother tongue, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hangzhou_dialect Hangzhou dialect]

:'''Pronouns:''' they/she


I am an Assistant Professor at [https://ascor.uva.nl/ the Amsterdam School of Communication Research (ASCoR)] at the University of Amsterdam. Academically speaking, I am interested in questions on digital inequality, resistance, and agency in digitally mediated labor environments, particularly the gig economy. I recently finished my PhD at Northwestern University, under supervision of Dr. Aaron Shaw and Dr. Eszter Hargittai. You can find my dissertation, entitled “Chasing the Ideal and Making It Work: Pursuing Employment in the Remote Gig Economy,” is available [https://www.proquest.com/openview/235ea26168ffa11c8765915e8a247f60/1?pq-origsite=gscholar&cbl=18750&diss=y here]. 

Outside academia, I love (cold water) swimming and being outdoors + active in all kinds of ways. I also get a lot of energy from organizing two cultural festivals in the Netherlands. At one, I curate the Arts & Science program, which bridges two of my passions.

Hi! My name is Jaelle Fuchs. I am a PhD Student at [https://www.uzh.ch/en.html University of Zurich] at [https://www.ikmz.uzh.ch/en.html Department for Media and Communication Research]. I am part of the Internet use and Society division, led my Eszter Hargittai. In my research I am interested in online participation and how it intersects with digital inequalities. Particularly, how digital inequalities can affect online participation at different levels and across platforms.

I studied Media and Communication with minors in both political science and philosophy of religion for my BA at the Universtiy of Zurich. For my MA I joined the Internet and Society Master’s program. 

I am based in Switzerland and during my BA and MA I worked as a receptionist at a small hotel in the Swiss mountains, so if you ever need some travel tips for Switzerland feel free to reach out.

=== Bastian Greshake Tzovaras (Turing Institute) ===
[[File:BastianGreshakeTzovaras.jpg|200px|thumb|Bastian, being so old-timey that his beard has grown.]]

Despite having an academic background in biology/bioinformatics, I've been active in peer-produced citizen science since around 2011. I'm one of the co-founders of the crowdsourced, open data repository openSNP ([https://opensnp.org]), which collects personal genomics data sets from users of Direct-To-Consumer genetic testing companies to put them into the public domain. Since 2017 I'm also the Director of Research for Open Humans (https://www.openhumans.org), an ecosystem for participatory citizen science that aims to allow people to analyze and learn from their own personal data as well as given members the opportunity to share their data with (citizen science) research projects. Among other things we have piloted a JupyterHub-based approach to give people their own virtual machines that allow them to write, run and share data analysis notebooks without having to share any personal information (see [https://exploratory.openhumans.org]).

Since 2019 I'm a research fellow at the Center for Research & Interdisciplinarity in Paris ([https://cri-paris.org/]), where I will study how the ideas of peer-production can be translated to facilitate co-created citizen science projects in which participants are fully involved in all stages of research, from start to finish. Lately a lot of focus there has been on how we can scale up the individualistic quantified self experiments people do to larger cohorts. I also teach students the basics of citizen science and self-tracking. 

Last but not least I'm involved in community building and mentoring in bioinformatics and for open projects in general: I'm a board member of the Open Bioinformatics Foundation ([https://www.open-bio.org/]), have mentored for Mozilla's Open Leadership Cohorts, Outreachy & Google Summer of Code.

:'''Pronouns:''' she/they
I am a postdoc at the Center for Information Technology Policy at Princeton University. I was previously a PhD student in the collective, advised by Aaron Shaw at Northwestern.

I'm a mixed methods researcher. My work is interdisciplinary + primarily investigates how everyday users can and should interpret, enact, and shape the governance of large-scale digital platform technologies. A lot of my interest in this comes from studying government + political theory, 20th century (for some reason, Eastern European) history that I can no longer remember any details of, and data ethics as a little starry-eyed undergrad. You can find more information at my [https://www.sohyeonhwang.com site]. 

I enjoy multi-day road trips (ideally, cross-country), casual lap swimming, and eye shopping. Like everyone else during the pandemic, I tried pottery and now occasionally make little ceramic wine goblets.

=== Nick Vincent (Simon Fraser) ===

My research focuses on studying the relationships between human-generated data and computing technologies to mitigate negative impacts of these technologies. I am especially interested in research that (1) makes people aware of the value of their data and (2) helps people leverage the value of their data. My work relates to concepts such as "data dignity", "data as labor", "data leverage", and "data dividends".

=== Morten Warncke-Wang (Wikimedia Foundation) ===
[[File:Warncke-Wang, Morten - Dec 2017.jpg|200px|thumb|Morten prior to growing a scientifically sound beard.]]

I've been participating in online and peer production communities for over 20 years, and recently (December 2016) got a PhD studying them. My research focus has been on content quality in peer production communities like Wikipedia and OpenStreetMap: what is high quality content, how is it created, can we build tools to judge it, and is it produced where there is demand for it? In addition to research publications, this work has also led to a Python library for predicting Wikipedia article quality ([https://github.com/wiki-ai/articlequality articlequality]) that is publicly available on Wikipedia through the [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/ORES ORES API]. I am also a Research Fellow with the [https://research.wikimedia.org Wikimedia Foundation's Research group].

Another one of my interests is using recommender systems to help contributors find work to do. In Wikipedia this manifests in my maintenance of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:SuggestBot SuggestBot]. The bot can recommend articles to work on based on a user's edit history, or they can supply articles or categories they want to base the suggestions on. SuggestBot is currently available in seven languages.

I've participated as a mentor and instructor in some of the Community Data Science Workshops. Apart from these things, I also like reading (both books and magazines), watching movies, playing [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squash_(sport) squash], and attempting to make music.
