About Informatics FYI

Hello, I'm Chris, and I am an Informaticist. Join me as I share my experiences and perspectives on the field of Informatics, and how you can bring together people, technology and information to serve others. Together we will explore a digital landscape that can be as vast as our own planet, with the same wonders, experiences, and hazards you might encounter while traveling the world.

Whether you are curious about the field, starting a career, or growing in your day to day work, I hope you enjoy Informatics FYI. As this journey progresses, we will join together on quests to apply informatics to public problems.
