Dan grew up in the Midwest and is thrilled to be back and working at MIDAS. He has spent the past 5 years working in research reproducibility and has discovered a passion for helping others to achieve their research goals in a way that enables and encourages sharing and reuse of both data and code. He believes that code and data are fundamentally linked with each other as well as with the publication and reproducibility works to show and strengthen these bonds.
