On life being difficult to script: “You have to move as opportunity, your interest, & your North Star take you” - @LatanyaSweeney, Professor @Harvard @Kennedy_School, Public Interest Tech Lab founder @ShorensteinCtr & @sicss_howard 2023 keynote #SICSS @HowardU @MathematicaNow

@KSonderlingEEOC @HowardU @MathematicaNow “I do think that to have a successful working society that enables people to be innovative and creative, we also need regulations." - @iajunwa shared with @sicss_howard in LIVE Q+A #SICSS @HowardU @MathematicaNow

“Workers & potential workers who are going to be subject to this technology [in the future] need to know what their rights are if the technology is being used to make an employment decision for them” @KSonderlingEEOC in LIVE Q+A #SICSS @HowardU @MathematicaNow

“There can be this sort of disconnect between issues that grab lawmakers’ attention but that aren’t all that prevalent and issues that are really prevalent and important but are very slow to be regulated.” @CharlotteGarden shared in LIVE Q+A #SICSS @HowardU @MathematicaNow

“I get to learn a lot from our colleagues who are [exceptionally] knowledgeable” - Alex Bohl, Ph.D. during the @MathematicaNow roundtable #SICSS @HowardU

“Every year has been different [with] new challenges and different experiences.” - Sheldon Bond during the @MathematicaNow roundtable #SICSS @HowardU
