Last week, we asked you to share how Impactstory has helped your career. Today, we’re announcing the contest winner: Dr. Emilio Bruna!

Emilio is a Professor with the Department of Wildlife Ecology & Conservation at the University of Florida and an Open Science advocate. Here’s his impact story:

I included Impactstory data in my portfolios for 1) promotion to full professor and  2) selection to UF’s Academy of Distinguished Teaching Scholars,  a campus-wide faculty award.  Both were successful.  

But perhaps more importantly, I included Impactstory in my workshop on scientific publishing for graduate students, where in one of the sessions all the participants set up ORCID IDs, Researcher IDs, and Impactstory Profiles – check it out. Students get it.

Emilio’s story echoes many others we’ve heard since founding Impactstory: you’re using our service to uncover all the ways in which your research makes an impact, and you’re using that data when going up for tenure & promotion, applying for grants and awards, and teaching the next generation of scientists what it means to be an influential scholar.

For having the best story, Emilio wins an Impactstory t-shirt of his choice. Congrats, Emilio!

And thanks to all of our contest participants!
