Excited about a new project w/ Prof. @chrishwiggins.bsky.social of @datascicolumbia.bsky.social on "tech bono" - the commitments we have in law to service learning/ professional volunteerism called “pro bono" mapped to tech+data science. More: buff.ly/hGPZy5I

Tech Bono
In law, pro bono service is institutionalized: embedded in legal education, supported by firms, coordinated by dedicated staff, and engrained in the culture. In tech and data science, skills-based “tech for good”—what I call tech bono—remains largely ad hoc, driven by individual initiative rather than durable institutional pathways. Explore how we're working to change that culture in this article.
