I was invited to speak on a panel with the Oxford Global Society (OXGS) around mid-August 2022 when I was preparing for the interview for the Schmidt Futures – Oxford University (Mansfield College) fellowship. Since my job interview with the Nissan Institute at Oxford University in the first pandemic year this was my second interaction with Oxford. (The SF-Oxford fellowship went to a different Schmidt Futures colleague…!)

The report of the discussion was published by OXGS and can be found here:

(Thank you, Sophia!)
