I took this photo in February, after I found out my tenure case passed the promotion committee. Now that the final rubber stamp has been set, super thrilled to share that my promotion to associate professor is a done deal. 🎉😴

Excited to virtually transport to Copenhagen in just a few moments!

JFC. To use an AI with this high an error rate to decide who lives or dies, the purpose of the AI is not decision making, it’s rhetorical shielding for indiscriminate mass slaughter.

No one likes the title.'

Oh well
