Hi, and welcome to Macaulay! I’m Allison Das, a Macaulay TLC Fellow, and I’m looking forward to seeing folks around this year. I recently graduated from the CUNY Graduate Center with a PhD in Critical Social Psychology and love talking about all things social psych, public health, and the need for more interdisciplinarity. When I’m not doing work, I love exploring the city and being outside. It’s a bonus when these things overlap like at Macaulay BioBlitz every year!

Affirmation (for Incoming Students): You all already have great ideas. Can’t wait to be alongside y’all as you grow evermore skills to express and share those ideas with the world.
One Thing I’m Excited About: I’m feeling excited to continue exploring the types of things we can make with OpenLab!
One Thing I Need Support On: I would like to think and learn as much as possible from my colleagues/community on how to navigate the current AI situation.
