👋 Hi, I’m Gabby - a computational biologist by training✨👩🏻💻🕸️🦠🧮✨ , science communication nerd at heart 🗣️💖, and amateur climber 🧗🏻♀️🌄
This is my personal website for showcasing my open-source and peer-reviewed projects, technical blogs, and personal writing. I graduated from my PhD at Berkeley 🐻 and UCSF 🌉 in 2024, but there’s so many educational resources I ran out of time to make in grad school:
- vignettes and tutorials for ML tools I’ve built
- data viz guides and web-hosted interactive visualizations for recreating my scientific figures
- ‘blog style’ and ‘Grad Slam’ versions of my publications
- middle school or high school level content explaining key concepts in my areas of expertise (machine learning, computational biology, immunology)
Basically, everything it takes to translate original scientific research into plain English.
So now, my goal is to make the digestible 'Miss Frizzle' version of my research publicly available beyond the various conference talks, papers, and seminars that I've delivered in my academic career. I take pride in being the product of 2 of California's public universities (obligatory go bears🐻) so I'm taking on this project as a commitment to continued open access of publicly funded science—kind of like a freelance postdoc.
I’ll be documenting my learning process on my blog over at License to Gab along with miscellaneous musings. Think cool tools/software I come across, what I’m reading, and stuff I’m tinkering with. Basically, the vibe is “if the source material is published, we’re gonna yap about it.”
When else in my career will I be able to freely write about my research with minimal consideration for competitive IP and legal repercussions? I definitely can’t discuss my work so candidly once I return to industry, so I’m making the most of it now! ☺️
