We will continuously update entries as California partner-recommended public researchers provide their information to CRB Nexus.

If you are legislative or gubernatorial staff who would like CRB Nexus to connect you with a California public researcher, if you want a to read their publications, or if you want to provide feedback about CRB Nexus, please contact CRB Nexus Project Director Tonya D. Lindsey, Ph.D., or email crb@library.ca.gov.
