Spring is in the air in the #Mojave! I happened to capture this image of a mating pair of Mojave desert #tortoises (#Gopherus #agassizii) last weekend during a #drone survey - a first! That's an active burrow to the left.

Just completed/enjoyed teaching #AIforSocialImpact at Harvard CS this fall. Lecture materials from free online book:

Beyond individual #AIforGood papers covered basic topics trainees in #AIforSocialImpact should be familiar with, e.g., experiment design, beyond purely methodological AI topics. Also included exciting Harvard HBS
#AIforconservation case:
