Looking for an expert witness or similar? Sorry, I don’t have the time and am not interested.  I feel the majority of such trials do tremendous harm to my field in order to enrich others who don’t move the field forward, and I don’t want any part of that.  If you’re specifically interested in my mobile computing work as a PhD student, I’ve put all that stuff on GitHub.

Trying to get admitted to Berkeley? If you are a current Berkeley student I would be happy to talk to you. Otherwise, I will not respond to emails regarding admission to Berkeley degree programs.  I cannot help you get admitted or advise you on admissions.  If you’re admitted I’ll be happy to talk to you once you’re here.

Looking for a postdoc? I am affiliated with the MOOCLab and the ASPIRE Project.  If you don’t see a postdoc opening advertised on those pages, it means I’m not in a position to hire one, and I won’t generally reply to cold calls on that.

Trying to connect with me on LinkedIn? Yes, I’m on there, but I only connect with people with whom I’ve had nontrivial actual co-worker experience.  If you’re not in that category, don’t be offended when I don’t respond to your “connect with me” request.
