Janet Olsonbaker develops user groups, conducts user outreach (surveys, panels, studies), and develops content for the web and project education and outreach. For the Office of Naval Research she is evaluating the web presence of naval enterprise websites for the Education and Outreach Initiative that seeks to increase the number of scientists and engineers. For an NSF grant she created the story, characters, script and directs the production of “The Important Little Life of Dylan Diatom,” a 3D animation for middle school students.
Olsonbaker helped develop a new community of interest, WA wine grape growers, for a National Science Foundation (NSF) multidisciplinary grant, Communicating Weather Uncertainty, which investigates how people comprehend probabilistic information. As Co-P.I. for the Boater Information System (BIS), she developed a community of Puget Sound boaters, conducting needs and task analyses and product usability tests with sailors, power boaters, kayakers, fishers, and wind surfers who served on an advisory board to help develop a weather and oceanographic tool that boaters use every day. Ms. Olsonbaker joined the Laboratory in 1990.
