Ms. Leah McEwen is an active leader in the professional chemical information community. She has supported research and learning communities in chemistry and related fields at Cornell University where she was the Chemistry Library for over 26 years. She has also served in numerous roles and leadership positions in the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC), the American Chemical Society (ACS), and the Research Data Alliance (RDA). She has extensive experience in preparation and management of scientific research outputs and an appreciation of the value and requirements for accurate documentation and metadata necessary to identify, access and reuse data. She is familiar with information workflows and needs across a range of scientific fields in diverse sectors.

Ms. McEwen is internationally recognized for connecting people around common information challenges in digital data and scientific communication. She has organized dozens of topical symposia, workshops and collaborations with researchers, educators, policymakers, funders, publishers, software developers, scientific societies, federal agencies, government labs, industry groups, private institutes, and global organizations worldwide. She has collaborated with many institutes and initiatives on developing workflows and services for managing scientific data, including the International Science Council Committee on Data (CODATA), the Commission for Isotopic Abundances and Atomic Weights (CIAAW), the Beilstein-Institut, the Pistoia Alliance of pharmaceutical companies, the US National Center for Biotechnology Information, European Bioinformatics Institute, and several national level research data infrastructure initiatives.

Ms. McEwen has been mobilizing the chemical information community around the development of chemical data standards for over a decade. She is an active contributor to many digital standards projects and initiatives, including the International Chemical Identifier (InChI), the Gold Book Compendium of Chemical Terminology, the IUPAC critical evaluation of data program, and the WorldFAIR data reproducibility initiative. She had contributed to guidance and instruction materials on chemical data standards and standardized data reporting and evaluation that are accessed worldwide. She has also been involved in several initiatives to promote chemical safety and the use of chemical data for assessing and managing risk in academic research and teaching laboratories. She is a codeveloper and curator of the Laboratory Chemical Safety Summary data stream from the PubChem database at the NIH to facilitate public access to authoritative chemical safety data.

Ms. Leah McEwen 是專業化學資訊社群中的活躍領導者。她在康奈爾大學擔任化學圖書館長超過26年，支持化學及相關領域的研究和學習社群。她還在國際純粹與應用化學聯合會（IUPAC）、美國化學學會（ACS）和研究數據聯盟（RDA）擔任過多個角色和領導職位。她在科學研究成果的準備和管理方面擁有豐富的經驗，並理解準確文檔和元數據的價值及要求，這些都是識別、訪問和重用數據所必需的。她熟悉各種科學領域在不同部門中的資訊工作流程和需求。

Ms. McEwen 在國際上因為連結人們解決數位數據和科學溝通中的共同資訊挑戰而受到認可。她組織了數十場主題研討會、工作坊和與研究人員、教育工作者、政策制定者、資助者、出版商、軟體開發者、科學社團、聯邦機構、政府實驗室、產業團體、私人機構及全球組織的合作。她與許多機構和倡議合作，開發科學數據管理的工作流程和服務，包括國際科學理事會數據委員會（CODATA）、同位素豐度和原子重量委員會（CIAAW）、Beilstein-Institut、製藥公司Pistoia Alliance、美國國家生物技術資訊中心、歐洲生物資訊研究所以及幾個國家級研究數據基礎設施倡議。

Ms. McEwen 在推動化學數據標準的發展方面已經動員化學資訊社群超過十年。她是許多數位標準項目和倡議的活躍貢獻者，包括國際化學標識符（InChI）、化學術語金書（Gold Book）彙編、IUPAC數據計畫的關鍵評估以及WorldFAIR數據可重複性倡議。她為全球訪問的化學數據標準和標準化數據報告及評估的指導和教學材料做出了貢獻。她還參與了幾個倡議，以促進化學安全和在學術研究及教學實驗室中使用化學數據來評估和管理風險。她是來自NIH的PubChem數據庫的實驗室化學安全摘要數據流的共同開發者和策展人，以促進公眾訪問權威的化學安全數據。
