[u'computer science', u' bioinformatics', u' computational biology']

Searching

If you'd rather search for authors, try ORCID's search functionality using its API specification :

>>> #do a simple author search for john
>>> authors = pyorcid.search('family-name:wilbanks+AND+given-names:john')
>>> print (next(authors).family_name)
wilbanks
