Lindsay is an Applied Research Scientist interested in explainability, text embeddings, science communication, and an obsession with language. She holds a Master’s degree from Boston University and a Ph.D. from Brown University, both in Biogeochemistry and Ecosystem Ecology and via the Marine Biological Laboratory, and conducted NSF-funded postdoctoral research at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada before moving into data science and AI. Her interest in explainability is due in part to the parallels with trying to understand the functioning of complex natural ecosystems.
