In Finland, newly minted PhDs are given both a hat AND a sword. The only thing I will be debating on the matter of my doctorate is whether or not I should retroactively buy myself a sword.

Thoroughly enjoyed rewatching the classic “Mr. Smith goes to Santa Clara” this weekend. IYKYK — this is a niche tweet

It appears Rusty, the infamous red panda who escaped the @NationalZoo in 2013, has passed. A true DC legend. cc @PoPville

One year ago, I made the jump from academia to tech. It’s been a wild ride so far, so I wanted to share a few reflections on the transition for others that might be considering tech roles. 1/many

On the impact of open research data, digitization of government records, small research grants, and a life well lived…holy cow Dr. Midlo Hall was 🔥
Gwendolyn Midlo Hall, a historian of colonial-era Louisiana, has died at 93. After years of digging through obscure libraries, she rescued the identities of more than 100,000 enslaved people from archival oblivion.

👇👇job w/ good peeps alert (breaking things down, from the inside out, can be a good thing, too)
TLDR: I'm hiring TWO Research Policy Positions to join my growing team here at Meta on Privacy & Data Policy. These roles sit at the intersection of evidence-based policymaking, emerging tech (e.g., Metaverse!), and information policy. (1/??)

If you’re at the intersection of research, policy, and tech, you should absolutely work with Elaine!

Almost 4 years ago when a recruiter reached out I was deeply unsure about this career pivot (I expected to graduate & work for the USG), but I’m still here embedded within issues I care about. I hope you consider exploring these roles & bringing your experience to Meta! (fin)

I’ll do my best to answer questions about these roles & working for Meta! (Not a drop of KoolAid around my team--I want to put actions behind your good ideas and critical thinking as best we can) Our job is to work together and make progress on hard policy issues.

My job is challenging every day, but I find great satisfaction in applying the knowledge+research skills I honed at @BerkeleyISchool @CLTCBerkeley @CTSPBerkeley @BKCHarvard (+many more) in the real world on issues I care deeply about and take seriously.

Even if these roles aren’t a fit for you, #AltAcChats take hope there are MANY unicorn roles outside of academia eager to apply your research skills, empirical insights, & analytical prowess.

If you come from an academic or research background in privacy/information/data science/ethics/(…) and have law + policy exposure these roles might be for you!

This is one of the things I loved about Zoom teaching—there were so many more tools and outlets for students to participate via polls, chat, reaction emojis, DMs on rough ideas they weren’t sure about, etc. Having a co-instructor made full use of the tools possible.
Just because a student does not raise their hand, does not mean that they are not thinking deeply about the content. We need to broaden what we mean by engagement in our classrooms/schools. This will invite/value more students in the learning process.
