Spent my Friday night with the one and only Kacey Musgraves in all her technicolor glory 🌈💕💖💗

Gwen’s Bluesky debut.

What a privilege it was to get to speak to a room full of folks truly leading the world in intelligent communities at the #ICFSummit today

Super cool way to kick off UAlbany's Research & Entrepreneurship Week today with the SUNY AI Symposium! It was exciting to hear about all of the different AI-related projects across SUNY campuses and represent for Rockefeller College and the Dept of Public Admin & Policy. Big things ahead!
