At a time when so much funding for diversity science has been pulled, I am SO thankful to the American Psychological Foundation (APF) for awarding me & former student (now PhD student!) Lizy Szanton the Springfield Grant to examine kid biases at the intersection of race and gender nonconformity.

This is the June 22, 1968 cover of The New Yorker, illustrated by Beatrice Szanton. It features an Italian travel agency window ("Viaggio") with posters for the U.S. and Disneyland, plus a Florence street scene.

My roguelike celebration talk just went up on YouTube!

I love mental models that help me design and analyze games, so here I am presenting one about how I design synergies for Roguelike Deckbuilders.

Hey Rami, thanks for doing this!

I'm working on a push-your-luck deckbuilder inspired by Inscryption and Severance! Currently at the demo stage.

Ma ült fel először mögém Eszti a motorra. Tegnap még arról tartott előadást, hogy ne menjek motorozni, most meg már le akar velem jönni a tengerpartra motorral. Ennyit erről. Megmutattam, mi a jó benne, innentől nincs probléma. Erdőn, szántón, mezőn keresztül is vittem, jó volt nagyon! :)

We made a little cozy puzzle game with some fun semi-procedural musical elements in just under 2 work weeks. Hope you'll enjoy it as much as we did putting it together 😊👾

JHU’s current Dean Sarah Szanton is a home-visiting gero NP & former advocate for reproductive health on Capitol Hill (before she became a nurse) who also worked with migrant farm workers & Healthcare for the Homeless & it shows.

I feel like we need more of this energy in nursing ed leadership.

This is such a cool design. It's initially mysterious both in terms of content and strategy, but really compelling to try to find out how to optimize. And so satisfying.

My collaborator Laura Samuel is looking for a post-doc -- great fit for someone interested in social policy and quant methods (the great team also includes Bonnie Swenor, Sarah Szanton and me):
