New account, so new #introduction. Let's do it again!
I have a #MastersDegree in #ComputerScience and #ComputerEngineering. I went to #NMU for undergrad and #MSU for my graduate degree. I currently work at #UChicago for the #TMWCenter, which focuses on helping young children acquire language (and therefore other learning skills) faster.
In my spare time, I develop #OpenSourceSoftware such as
- a #SphinxDoc extension that embed #Fediverse comments on your page
- a library to talk to #ManifoldMarkets from native #Python
- a #PredictionMarket manager using the above
- a #transpiler from a subset of Python to #OpenStreetMaps's #OverpassQL
- bug fixes to many other projects, including #mypy, #base58, #attrs, #CPython, & more
I spend a fair bit of my time these days on #MathResearch, specifically into the #ThueMorse Sequence and its extensions.
I'm also a hobbyist editor on OpenStreetMap.
#Demisexual, #transfem, and happily engaged to my #enby sweetheart.
We have two cats: #OpheTheLoaf and #MayalaranTheCat (yes, from #StormlightArchive) See here for more on them!
I speak English fluently, Spanish haltingly, and am trying to learn Chinese

Does anyone else remember Sun Workstations in college? #UChicago replaced the telephone booths in the Reynolds Club with these Sun stations for checking email and doing light web browsing. This was before the smartphone.
Honestly, I miss those workstations. They were a much more humane way to be online

New Zine: UCHICAGO REPORTBACKS AND LETTER TO THE ENCAMPMENT (updated)
"here’s a zine reportback of various encampments on University of Chicago’s campus.
...
This is the south side of Chicago. You can tell who has left the UChi bubble and who hasn’t. People are going to do what they want. Shit is going to go down here this summer. When students leave, UCPD does not. They continue to police and harass the south side."

How open should I be about being trans at work? I am a programmer in a research part of UChicago Medicine. I would really like to talk about these things with my work friends, but currently the only people who know are the ones who interviewed me and HR. The all know me as a woman and as my chosen name.

I am pleased to announce that today I start at the TMW Center for Early Learning + Public Health! The main product I am working on is a machine learning tool that evaluates a child's acquisition of language. I am a little fuzzy on the details, as of yet, but very excited to learn more.

Kudos to @torstenreimer and the @uchicago #library for their words and action in support of banned books.
https://www.lib.uchicago.edu/about/news/taking-a-stand-against-banned-books/"The #UChicago Library has started work to build the #BannedBooks Collection, an attempt to bring together all books banned in the United States…We have already a quarter of the more than 1,500 banned books…We will grow this collection and keep it up to date…Importantly, this will also be a collection for access, available to everyone."

It's a good reminder that talk is cheap and money has an impact on #medicalstudents and #physicians.
"...We find that these policies in turn affect the type and quantity of medical care physicians supply in the short run; retirement timing in the medium run; and earnings affect specialty choice in the long run."
Also I didn't include the link to the paper:
