Show PostHeading up to Baltimore this evening to represent the AHA at the AI and History Conference at Johns Hopkins tomorrow and Friday. We'll have 1,400 people joining us (180 in person and the rest online). Grateful to @louishyman.bsky.social for his leadership and hard work in organizing this event!
