As announced earlier this week, Bennie Finch and Sean Corning recently joined as our two new Education and Research Coordinators. Sean Corning’s introduction is below and you can find Bennie Finch’s introduction here.
Hello! I’m Sean Corning (they/them) and I recently joined Region 7 as an Education and Outreach Coordinator. This is an exciting and change-filled time at the NNLM and I am looking forward to embarking on the important work we do here at Region 7.
I graduated this spring with my MLIS from Simmons University. While at Simmons I conducted research around forming successful collaborations, particularly in library settings. I hope to apply what I learned from this research in my work at the RML. Prior to my time at Simmons, I worked in an academic medicinal chemistry laboratory, where I had experience dealing with biomedical data and using NLM products in a research setting.
My main interests are working with academic libraries, research data management and bioinformatics topics. Research data management is a major focus during this cooperative agreement and I’m excited to work on programming related to RDM.
On a more personal note, I live in the Boston area and have three cats. Two of which are kittens I adopted during the last year, one of which is an older grumpy cat. My hobbies include knitting, cooking and reading.
I’m excited to have joined Region 7 and look forward to working with you!
