Hi! I’m Misha. I do research in combinatorics and teach math, occasionally to high-school students.

Excellent programmer who’s now pivoted to writing and book publishing.

Nina Cosford is a freelance illustrator based in Hastings, UK.

She has illustrated over twenty published books and has worked with numerous brands including Apple, HBO, WaterAid, TATE, Google, UN Refugee Agency, Radio Times, H&M, Lonely Planet and Netflix. Her work became particularly well-known after she collaborated with Lena Dunham and HBO on the award-winning TV show GIRLS, which sparked a huge interest in the girl-centric zeitgeist of today. She has over 325,000 followers on Instagram and was recently named one of the Top 20 Female Illustrators by Stylist Magazine

I’m currently a Principal Scientist at Galois, Inc.. My research addresses problems in software reliability through advances in program analysis, computer-checkable proofs, and their combination. Recently I have been working on new programming languages for data privacy and secure computation, and new verification techniques for software defined networking. I used to help run and still actively collaborate with the UVM PLAID Lab.

I am a PhD student in Sam Staton’s group at Oxford University and a research software engineer at Topos Research UK. My current aim in research is to build domain specific languages for categorical systems theory.

My research focuses on “homotopical physics”: the interplay between mathematical physics (particularly quantum field theory) and higher (aka categorical) algebra. Other buzzwords that describe my work: higher symmetries, topological field theory, phases of condensed matter, “moonshine” phenomena, perturbative quantization, categories, representation theory, and algebraic topology.

My research is situated in the interdisciplinary field of sociocultural linguistics and takes a mixed-methods approach to the relationship between language, identity, embodiment, and social power. It also grows from a community-based agenda that centers the experience of transgender people, broadly defined. Major areas of investigation include the gendered characteristics of the voice, trans-inclusive language practices and linguistic activism, the discursive construction of “biological sex,” the changing status of singular ‘they’, and the relationship between gender and race in drag-related media.

Dougherty is writing books on the ethics of consent and on the rational (in)significance of the fact that we act from a temporal perspective. Among other topics, they have also researched the debate over consequentialism, ethical vagueness and female under-representation in philosophy.

Another one of my favorite contemporary philosophers.

I am a moral philosopher who studies normative power. I write about the power we have to change the moral, legal, and social world through speech acts and other expressions of our will. Consider, for instance: consent, promises, promissory release, offers, and threats. I also work on exploitation…

One of my favorite contemporary philosophers.

I’m Alice, a technical AI safety writer. I write the ML Safety Newsletter and my personal writing is on LessWrong. I have a background in technical ML, but pivoted to communications because I think this is where I can do the most good.
