Sarah Gulliford (née Kearns) is driven by her curiosity, community-driven orientation, and systems-level thinking. She is a strong supporter of open scholarship, and is eagerly experimenting with new ways to foster academic communities through public annotation and conversations.
Sarah earned her Ph.D. from the University of Michigan’s Chemical Biology where she experimented with microscopes to study cellular roads, and before that studied Biochemistry, Mathematics, and Philosophy at the Rochester Institute of Technology. While in graduate school, she became a science writer, founded a print magazine, and wrote feature articles for a number of publications. After defending her thesis, she went on to work at a non-profit open access publishing platform and ran their publication, Commonplace, a space that curated and cultivated ideas about open access cultures and practices.
She is currently the Community Operations Manager at Experiment, works at her local bakery in upstate New York, and is a freelance writer and editor.
