Natalie Raia

A geoscientist by training, I work to increase the discoverability, use, and curation of geologic sample collections and data for future generations of scientists and the public. With a decade of sample-based, geochemistry-focused research experience, I understand firsthand the individual needs and constraints of end users in the academic sector. My active research centers social and information science methodologies and related user assessment studies, database interoperability mapping, and community engagement aimed at improving database architectures and interfaces for sample-based science.
