"Dr Eric T. Meyer is a Research Fellow at the Oxford Internet Institute of the University of Oxford, UK.At OII, Meyer studies the social implications of e-science and e-social science as part of the Oxford e-Social Science (OeSS) project. He brings an understanding of scientific collaboration from both sides: as a social scientist studying scientific behavior, and as a participant in the production of scientific knowledge. For ten years prior to joining OII, he was the national (USA) data manager and a researcher working within a large scientific collaboration spanning twelve universities studying the genetic causes of mental health disorders. Meyer earned his PhD in Information Science from Indiana University in 2007. His dissertation, which has been named the 2008 ProQuest Doctoral Dissertation of the Year, examined how marine biologists who rely on photographic evidence to identify individual marine mammals have seen significant changes in their everyday work practices as they switched from film photography to digital photography. He has also written papers and presented at conferences on various aspects of digital photography from a social informatics perspective."
