I'm Alex Kearney, I'm Science at the University of Alberta. I focus on Artificial Intelligence and Epistemology.





I’ll see what I can do 😀. What time are you hosting it? I’m at GHC until the 28th.


It’s really impressive to see so many women in #tech in the same room for #ghc18. Even the nosebleeds are filled! #WomenInTech


I’d love to! When are you hosting it?


Phew, just landed in Houston for #ghc18 🛬. Sharing a lovely castle with my labmates 🌞


Really excited to head to my first #GHC2018 tomorrow! Does anyone have advice for how to make the most of it as a first-timer?
