Senior🎓
Top SchoolChandra Earl is a Biodiversity Data Scientist with nine years of experience building sustainable data infrastructure for natural history and ecological research, currently serving as the primary database programmer for NEON’s Biorepository. They bridge front-end and back-end development with data governance, improving data flows, quality, and long-term maintainability while aligning informatics strategy to scientific goals. Past roles at Bishop Museum and the University of Florida showcase hands-on work implementing LIMS, SLURM-based pipelines, transcriptome assembly, and contamination-cleaning workflows for non-model organisms. A PhD-trained bioinformatician, Chandra mentors students, secures grant funding, and translates complex genomic and ecological analyses into usable tools and publications. Notably, they combine classical lab experience with production-grade software practices, making them equally comfortable with sequence-level QC and designing user-facing biodiversity platforms.
