So excited for my first day today in #CivicTech service as a #PIF2021 fellow! I'm detailed to the Dept of Labor’s Office of Disability Employment Policy, working to mitigate bias in #AI and #machinelearning in HR tools for job seekers and employees with disabilities. Stay tuned!
✨🎉 Today we announce 34 NEW Presidential Innovation Fellows. These industry leaders & changemakers will serve as entrepreneurs in residence, collaborating w/ 22 federal agencies on 26 different #CivicTech projects to serve & empower the public! #PIF2021 gsa.gov/blog/2020/10/19/pass…
Been on hold with @amazon for so long that I thought "wonder if I could play this hold music by ear", taught myself to play it on the piano, and wrote a little accompaniment. If you're a masochist that loves calling customer service, give me a call. AFTER I GET OFF THE PHONE.
In case anyone happens to be in the market for a woodspirit carving. Hand carved by some random girl in the Midwest.

Just learned that this guy from my tiny hometown of Berea, Ohio launched both Pringles as head of Proctor & Gamble and also DARPA as Secretary of Defense so now I feel like I must be destined for greatness.

Might be the most fascinating non-fiction book I've ever read, if anyone is in need of a rec. #goodreads #BooksWorthReading a.co/d/0UEyVvN
Cool! 🤓
How neat. Researchers claim to have found, at long last, an "einstein" tile - a shape that tiles the plane in a pattern that never repeats. First two authors appear to have no academic affiliations. arxiv.org/abs/2303.10798
"I'll just put these important things right here in this spot where they clearly belong because that obviously makes sense so I definitely won't lose them," she says the very last time she ever sees those important things.

Rare and special night out for us, on the Colts sidelines (!) in support of #kickingthestigma #mentalhealth. Thank you, @Colts @KalenIJackson.
As though expense reports weren't bad enough, this already embarrassing dinner receipt from "Mighty Fine Burgers" puts your order modifications on their itemized receipts so now my boss will have to formally approve the 8 add-ons to the burger I stress ate while traveling.

Warehouse 13 marathon!! Haven't seen this in ages. Watching while eating ice cream for lunch in my hotel room so this work trip is the best one in a while. @EddieMcClintock @Warehouse13
Cheers to all my nerd friends out there that have been working on this forever. Really nice. #JWST
It's here–the deepest, sharpest infrared view of the universe to date: Webb's First Deep Field.
Previewed by @POTUS on July 11, it shows galaxies once invisible to us. The full set of @NASAWebb's first full-color images & data will be revealed July 12: nasa.gov/webbfirstimages
ALT The background of space is black. Thousands of galaxies appear all across the view. Their shapes and colors vary. Some are various shades of orange, others are white. Most stars appear blue, and are sometimes as large as more distant galaxies that appear next to them. A very bright star is just above and left of center. It has eight bright blue, long diffraction spikes. Between 4 o’clock and 6 o’clock in its spikes are several very bright galaxies. A group of three are in the middle, and two are closer to 4 o’clock. These galaxies are part of the galaxy cluster SMACS 0723, and they are warping the appearances of galaxies seen around them. Long orange arcs appear at left and right toward the center.
In case anyone is still worried about artificial intelligence taking over the world, just know that every time I let my 9 lb long-haired dachshund outside, my Nest security camera sends me an alert for a "person in the backyard," so I think we're good for a while.
Looking for that high-impact, mission-driven job? Want to use your tech and innovation powers for good? Apply to be a Presidential Innovation Fellow (@pifgov). I feel like PIF was the best way for me to serve in my own nerd way. apply.pif.gov. Apps open thru June 24.
Can't wait soooo excited for the meeting during which we prep for another meeting about how to deal with those other meetings.
You get your name on that moon right this minute!!!
We’re getting ready for #Artemis I — and we want to take you with us.
Add your name to the upcoming mission and it will be flown aboard the @NASA_Orion spacecraft as it orbits the Moon: go.nasa.gov/3sApTuG
ALT The Orion spacecraft flies over the Moon. Craters are visible on the lunar surface. Earth can be seen in the background.
