- If you're looking for a break from the news, try my crossword puzzle in today's NYT! It was a lot of fun to construct and I hope you find it fun (and pretty easy) to solve! #nytxw www.nytimes.com/crosswords/g...
- I wrote today’s @usatoday.com crossword puzzle. It’s free to play (today) and on the easy side. Enjoy! puzzles.usatoday.com
- Lately I've been thinking a lot about this visualization of wealth inequality. (@kanarinka.bsky.social and @laurenfklein.bsky.social might call it a "visceralization".) It's a few years old but is still so effective. eattherichtextformat.github.io/1-pixel-weal...
- Excited to discuss our Lehigh U Algorithms and Social Justice course w/Prof Suzanne Edwards at Lafayette Coll this Weds. And humbled to help kick off a series of talks on AI for inclusion, diversity, equity, and access, with later speakers like @poetofcode.bsky.social and @alexhanna.bsky.social.
- Congrats to former #Lehigh #ISE PhD grad Zümbül Atan on becoming the new chair of the Operations, Planning, Accounting and Control (OPAC) research group at Eindhoven U of Technology! www.tue.nl/en/news-and-...
- I said at a workshop at Lehigh today that a few yrs ago, a ChatGPT/DALL-E prompt like "generate an image of 4 doctors" would give an image of 4 white male drs, whereas now the drs would be more diverse--but that's only bc of superficial guardrails--the underlying data and model are still biased.
