You suck at memorizing colors (Sun, Sep 06, 2026, by evan) miscellaneous: 2
I built a two-agent color telephone game to find out whether language models communicate color better than you remember it.
About Me
I am a scientist, software developer, and amateur pool player.
I enjoy pursuing tech-related hobbies, open source software, and embracing unorthodoxy. I got my PhD at the University of Chicago, where I studied the ecology and evolution of ocean bacteria. I consider myself a computational biologist, but before I wore this hat, I engaged in more physics-based research while completing my BSc at the University of Victoria. You can find more about my research at my Google Scholar page.
I currently work at Arcadia Science, where my work revolves around protein language models, AI-based protein design, and scientific software development.
