Brie has been working in academic, hospital and public libraries for over two decades. As the research librarian for biology, and vision science and optometry at the University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, Brie is currently focussed on biodata, research data, and critical reading skills for predatory science and misinformation. In 2009, Brie graduated with a Masters of Information Science (MLIS) degree from Western University that concentrated on evidence-based medicine informatics and literature, and information technologies. She then spent the next 11 years in clinical research at Western University and London Health Sciences Centre.
