to other things that I enjoy thinking about or doing outside of school. Technology policy and ethics My
undergraduate degrees in political science and symbolic systems and my
master's degree in technology policy reflect both an interest in information
and communication technologies and the belief that technology is neither
conceived nor applied in a vacuum. ·
Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs: Participants are committed to the idea that scientists have a
responsibility to consider the possible unintended consequences of scientific
and technological developments. ·
Student Pugwash: I was a summer intern for the
student affiliate of the Pugwash Conferences. ·
Computer Systems Policy Project: Now known as the Technology CEO Council, this
is the information technology industry's voice on public policy issues including
health care, digital media convergence, security, privacy, etc. ·
Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility: This group debates the social impact of information
and communications technology, attempting to educate decision-makers on the
capabilities and limitations of computing in society. |

the most part) volunteer once-per-week washing dishes, cooking, etc. for this

Everything else ·
Ultimate Frisbee:
I learned to play as an undergraduate at Stanford and though I am not
very good, I played on the men's intercollegiate B-team (only b/c no one gets cut from
the B-team). I have since played at MIT and in community leagues:
BUDA, DiscNW,
WAFC, and PADA. ·
Running:
I started running originally to train for ultimate, but found that I
liked running even when I was not chasing a flying plastic disc. Now, most of my running is to train for
distance relays with the MIT Ashdown House Harriers. ·
Swimming/Cycling:
Depending upon the season, I swim and cycle several times per week for
cross-training. For swimming, a book
by Total Immersion has improved
my technique significantly. |
