A day in my life
This photo is one of the few photos I took while we were jamming in his studio.
Reflecting on my experience
Photo from an AI simulation of a patient. You could shake its hand, asks for its name, about their medical issues, and so forth. I wonder if there are any utilizations for this technology in addressing maternal mortality. If I discuss AI in my project, it is something to think about.
Map of Spaces
