Think of how much better off we'd be if every established researcher got in the habit of writing papers entitled "Second thoughts on [thing I'm famous for]"

New piece, out in the Sigecom Exchanges! It's my first solo-author piece, and the closest thing I've written to being my "manifesto." #econsky #ecsky

There are many great researchers out there.

But the ones that really stand out to me are the ones who are also kind, even when they don't need to be.

I finally wrote a full-fledged blog about this: reading the history of science is an **amazing** yet under-recognized way to develop (emotional) maturity as a researcher.

If you have thoughts/recommendations, please share!

A brilliant colleague and wonderful soul Felix Hill recently passed away. This was a shock and in an effort to sort some things out, I wrote them down. Maybe this will help someone else, but at the very least it helped me. Rest in peace, Felix, you will be missed. www.janexwang.com/blog/2025/1/...

With @adamsmith.xyz and @thejonullman.bsky.social, we have compiled a set of profiles of 29 people in the "foundations of responsible computing" community ("mathematical research in computation and society writ large") who are on the faculty job market.

“Should you still get a PhD given o3” feels like a weird category error. Yes, obviously you should still have fun and learn things in a world with capable AI. What else are you going to do, sit around on your hands?

I'm recruiting PhD students for Fall 2025! CS PhD Deadline: Dec. 15th.

I work on safe/reliable ML and causal inference, motivated by healthcare applications.

Beyond myself, Johns Hopkins has a rich community of folks doing similar work. Come join us!
