Thankful to have had a #Fulbright in Tunisia earlier this year. Worked with amazing folks at Novation City, Sousse PolyTech, & the American Embassy while gathering research data and building Tunisia's capacity for #AI and #IoT #entrepreneurship. Saw archeological ruins, the Sahara, & much more.

Curious to know how other professors are thinking about #AI (beyond the meaningful concerns about cheating). How are you designing assignments and classroom activities that promote AI literacy and put ethical use of AI in the foreground? #technology #innovation
A majority of undergraduate students use AI for classwork, several studies show. Ian Bogost spoke with college students to explore their motivations behind using the tool—and the painful revelation professors may face this in classrooms this fall. https://theatln.tc/l8wEyEQn

Hoping for clear skies to be able to catch a few meteors (despite the bright moon).
Considered the year’s most reliable and stunning meteor shower, the annual Perseids are headed toward a late Tuesday night into Wednesday dawn peak.

Here’s what to know about the showers and when to catch them:
When to catch the Perseids, the year’s best meteor shower
This year’s Perseid peak lines up with the full moon, which will make it harder than usual to view some of the show.

Getting ready to redo the roof of the house and considering solar shingles (not panels). Anyone have experience and words to the wise about adding them to your house? #solar #greentech☀️
As the 4th of July approaches, I have been re-reading my grandfather's journals from #WW2. If you are related to a person who served in the #1252nd Engineer Combat Battalion, please introduce yourself! #greatestgeneration

Fun day working on #AI things at Bald Eagle State Park!
Such fun being a faculty member at the #PennState #IST #commencement today! Most touching (and totally unexpected) moment: as the faculty were walking down the aisle at the end of the ceremony, some of my former students were calling my name! A whole new side of #happyvalley Congrats #classof2025
Can anyone guess what this is a long exposure photo of? Hint: It is #AI week at @pennstateuniv.bsky.social
Happy to say that this #Startup Week event went well! Thanks to Dr. Perry Campbell (1968, 1973) and Gracy Franco Prasanna (2026) for bringing arts, tech ( #AI), & health ( #aphasia) together. Exciting to see deepfakes being used for social good. @pennstateadri.bsky.social @pennstatealums.bsky.social
Hosting a webinar @pennstateuniv.bsky.social on Mar 26 1pmET with a #deepfake for good. The event features Perry Campbell, PSU alum and business exit expert who has #aphasia (difficulty speaking) from a stroke. Student Gracy Franco Prasanna has made a deepfake to let him present. startupweek.psu.edu
