Henry Josephson

Abstract

Hi! I'm Henry. I'm finishing up my final year at the University of Chicago, where I study data science and philosophy. I'm also a footnote enthusiast. I make crosswords for the New York Times, and I work in emerging technology policy. After I graduate, I'm hoping to land a role in industry, a legislature, or a think tank. I'll keep you all updated on my progress! If you're interested in a more-substantial resume, you can click here or check my LinkedIn in the Socials section below.

If you, like me, want a website that looks like a LaTeX document, then you should check out the theme I'm using, which was made by Vincent Doerig.

I. What am I working on right now?

Check out my now page!

II. Writing

I've started to write enough that I can't fit everything on my main page! Find everything I've uploaded here on my writing page. That said, if you like AI policy writing, link-posts, and the occasional data visualization, you're in the right place.

III. Crosswords

I make crossword puzzles! You can solve some of them in the New York Times and the Chicago Maroon.

I'll also publish puzzles on this page — expect more once I've graduated and can no longer send non-NYT grids to the Maroon.

IV. Social Media & Contact Info

I'm on BlueSky at @henryjosephson.com and LinkedIn here. I haven't full-on deleted my twitter yet, but I only used it to lurk, anyway.

I'm not sure if github counts as a social network, but you can find mine at https://github.com/henryjosephson/.

I'm not on Instagram and only nominally have a Facebook.

If you want to email me, you can use my_first_name + "@" + my_last_name + ".net"

V. Leave me anonymous feedback!

I really want to be the best version of myself that I can. I aspire to change my mind as I see new evidence, and it's very important to me that I balance the knowledge that I could be totally wrong with the push to actually do the things I think are right. I draw inspiration here from Joe Carlsmith's excellent piece On Sincerity.

If there's any way you think I can be doing better, please let me know.
