I am an assistant professor of sociology at Duke. 

I study the social foundations that make and break science, including the norms, interactions, viewpoint diversity, and uncertainty that make it legit. I work with formal scientific and legislative texts using NLP, machine learning, and generative AI. My research is comparative and longitudinal.

Right now, I'm working on:

(1) innovation and pluralism in science and technology (peer review + patents)
(2) scientific authority, both past and present (politics + law)

(When I'm not working, my bearded husband and bearded daughter keep me busy on trails. 🏔️🐾)
