About Me
Hi, hey, hello! I’m Andrew Zuckerman. Some people call me Zuck!
I recently graduated Harvard and studied CS. I’m not very good at About Me’s, so instead here’s a short list of bullet points about my time in between school:
- I took 3 gap years throughout my college journey…
- In the first one before freshman year, I interned at Hive, farmed in California with WWOOF, and traveled through SE Asia
- Oooh, and I started a YouTube channel called Zuck That back then making short explanatory films
- In the two years I took off before senior year, I served as Executive Director of a research nonprofit called Qualia Research Institute
- I was really interested in consciousness and psychedelic research back then
- I designed this psychophysics research software based on Andrés Goméz Emilsson’s pioneering psychedelic cryptography work
- I loved Distill.pub and their amazing online science publishing style for ML interpretability research, so I helped convert the QRI website to handle Distill for R Markdown publishing
- Here are two pieces from that era that I think are really great:
- And here’s one that I think is really important:
-
- Short Version: Review of Log Scales, Long Version: Logarithmic Scales of Pleasure and Pain
- In the first one before freshman year, I interned at Hive, farmed in California with WWOOF, and traveled through SE Asia
- Besides that, my favorite class at college was called Free Will, Responsibility, and Law. I took that with Professor Joshua Greene
