Taylor W. Killian@tw_killian📣 There's never a "best" time to share important updates, especially after sitting on this for so long... I'm joining the faculty @BYU + @BYUCS this Summer as an Assistant Professor in preparation for the upcoming school year. Lots of excitement and a fair bit of nerves. 🧵

I have a lot to share about why this is the right time to invest in the next generations of technologists, especially in the age of explosive growth in AI capability. I'm working to coherently note down my thoughts and motivations, stay tuned for another blog post next week 🤞
