The Value of Immigrants to the United States. Part 9 of the Welcoming the Stranger Series

September 24, 2018 by Royce Francis No Comments

I appreciate that Soerens and Yang do not make economic claims central to their book, but I also appreciate that they have examined some of the most common economic claims related to immigration.

I commend the whole series [on AI and Christianity] to you; the articles are brief introductions to a variety of topics in artificial intelligence and how they intersect with traditional Christian thinking and concerns, along with resources for more details.

Leaving Academia, Part 3

August 12, 2017 by Joshua Wu No Comments

When I started applying for non-academic jobs, I felt directionless and did not know how to start. Providentially, I stumbled upon the simple realization that I can leverage skills and expertise gained in graduate experience to navigate these new unknowns. By adopting familiar practices of research, replication, and resilience, I became more organized, confident, and ultimately successful in the job application process.

Leaving Academia, Part 2

July 15, 2017 by Joshua Wu No Comments

Leaving Academia, Part 1

July 1, 2017 by Joshua Wu 3 Comments

For the better part of a decade, my life ambition was to become a professor. I was confident that hard work and a few providential breaks would land me a tenure-track political science professor position. I believed that God had called me to a life in the academy, to be a witness pointing peers and students to Christ.
