We're proud to announce our Calcagno Scholarship recipient of 2023, Jeremy Stevens.

Jeremy is an English (Honors) major at the @NavalAcademy, graduating in 2023 to commission as an officer in the U.S. Marine Corps. His research focuses on literary trauma theory and representations of mental illness, specifically focusing on how structural influences can perpetuate the infliction of trauma and psychological injury. He was the Brigade Alcohol and Drug Education Officer, in charge of creating and executing a year-long campaign to educate the Brigade of Midshipmen on alcohol abuse and to create responsible alcohol-use practices.

He intends to matriculate at @durham_uni to read for a Master of Arts in the Medical Humanities.

Hailing from Las Cruces, New Mexico, Jeremy is passionate about examining sociocultural influences which affect mental illness, and hopes to enter the suicide prevention field to address the alarming rates of death by suicide within active duty and veteran populations of the U.S. military.

Sometimes it feels like technology has taken over the world, but yesterday’s insights from Ben Kingsley revealed not every industry has been quick to adopt tech, as the legal profession’s traditions and culture limit revolution, and instead promote evolution. #TechPol22w8

[Kamiar Mohaddes @KamiarMohaddes]

Absolute pleasure to have Ben Kingsley visiting us @CambridgeJBS today to discuss radical evolution through a lens of tradition - #innovation in the #legal sector. #TechPol22w8

Great talk yesterday from @samsurinwelch. Organizations die when their core assets become their core rigidities, limiting movement. I wonder what organizations today might be at risk with their inability to pivot and adapt to changing technological environments. #TechPol22w7

A great pleasure to have Dr @samsurinwelch @CambridgeCEC speaking to our @Cambridge_Uni students on the MPhil in #Technology Policy this afternoon about Disruption and Creative Destruction. #TechPol22w7

Prezydent @AndrzejDuda: Nic nie wskazuje na to, że był to intencjonalny atak na Polskę. Najprawdopodobniej była to rakieta produkcji rosyjskiej typu S-300. Nie mamy w tej chwili dowód na to, że była to rakieta wystrzelona przez stronę rosyjską. [1/2]

Loved learning about venture capital and how responsible investment from VC funds can create more than just financial value, but purpose. Investors/consumers consider more than just the price when they look at products at the end of the day, but the impact as well. #TechPol22w6

Great pleasure to have @JFLenhard (Co-Director VentureESG, @MCTDCambridge & @Kings_College) visiting us @CambridgeJBS this afternoon to talk to our students about how #ESG finds its way into #Tech #Investing. #TechPol22w6

Really enjoyed learning about public purpose technology. Would really like to see the innovation, creativity, and principles of the PPT ecosystem applied to other sectors, ie defense acquisitions and state cybersecurity initiatives. #TechPol22w5

[Kamiar Mohaddes @KamiarMohaddes]

Delighted to have Dr @TanyaFiler @StateUpHQ visiting us @CambridgeJBS today and discuss Silos, Systems, and Opportunities in Public-Purpose #Technology with our @Cambridge_Uni students. #TechPol22w5

Great talk Friday on the Climate Crisis and Policy. I was fascinated with the study attempting to measure tangible policy impact in order to better inform government policymakers. Very curious to see if this can be applied to other sectors!Thank you @chrispenasco #TechPol22w4

[Kamiar Mohaddes @KamiarMohaddes]

Absolute pleasure to have Professor @chrispenasco (@BennettInst & @QueensCam) visiting us @CambridgeJBS this afternoon and discuss the Policy and Politics of Science, Technology and #Innovation in a Context of (#Climate) #Crisis. #TechPol22w4

[Nick Walden @nick_walnut]

Engaging class exercise Friday outlining threats to the global economy in Technology Policy class. Was fun to see how everyone had slightly different priorities and perspectives with global challenges depending on their personal backgrounds and sectors. #TechPol22w3

[Kamiar Mohaddes @KamiarMohaddes]

Great session today with our @TechPolicyMPhil students @Cambridge_Uni discussing major threats facing the global economy, the role of institutions and some potential opportunities. #TechPol22w3

[Nick Walden @nick_walnut]

Loved the talk on computational social science and its efforts to track real responses to government policy on climate. @RamitDebnath reminded me of other studies that tracked social media responses to terrorist events through other methods. https://t.co/4aaBl9k4My #TechPol22w2

[Kamiar Mohaddes @KamiarMohaddes]

Wonderful to be welcoming my amazing coauthor Dr @RamitDebnath (@ChurchillCol @CambridgeZero) to @CambridgeJBS to speak to our @TechPolicyMPhil students this afternoon about the Role of People, Tech & Digital Economy in the Present Race for Sustainability Transition! #TechPol22w2

[Nick Walden @nick_walnut]

Incredible talk from @toxvaerd1 on the field of economic epidemiology and the importance of not siloing out different areas of expertise within policymaking. Economics, behavior, and epidemiology are all interlinked. Read below for more! #TechPol22w1 https://t.co/l2LR5NC8jD

[Kamiar Mohaddes @KamiarMohaddes]

A great pleasure to welcome Prof @toxvaerd1 @CamEcon to the @CambridgeJBS to speak to our @TechPolicyMPhil students this afternoon about the Economics and the #Epidemic: Models, Behaviour and Policy! #TechPol22w1
