Present at UW undergrad symposium @undergradresearch.bsky.social
My first paper is out! 🎉
We prompted LLMs to complete ~24k stories about animal characters and found that increasing “neutrality” doesn’t necessarily translate into more balanced representation.
Honored to be selected as a 2025–26 Dean’s Medal recipient in UW’s College of Arts & Sciences, representing the Social Sciences.
Grateful to the mentors, faculty, and friends who made this journey possible. 💜💛

If you liked Bears Will Be Boys, you might enjoy our new FAccT paper!
We prompted LLMs to complete 24K stories about animal characters where gender is unstated.
We found that.. bears are *still* boys. And female animal characters disappeared while "neutrality" increased.
