Senior🎓
Top SchoolTom Weishaar is the developer behind Open-Meta.org, a crowd-sourced web app that streamlines systematic reviews and meta-analyses, built on the foundation of a 30-year career as a writer, editor, and entrepreneur. He holds an EdD in Health Education from Teachers College, Columbia University and combines expertise in nutrition, statistics, large-data analysis, and public health policy to pursue independent research and journal publications.

Based in Pittsburgh, he has sustained a steady focus on reproducible evidence synthesis since 2017 and continues to publish and publicly comment on nutrition research. An unusual blend of long-form journalism, technical tooling, and formal health education lets him translate complex methods into practical, usable research infrastructure.
