Taking a moment to pause and enjoy the view amidst a day of #semiconductor and #cybersecurity course prep and research. It feels good to be back in the neighborhood and I very much look forward to welcoming Johns Hopkins SAIS students to our new home next week.

LABScon was the first in-person con I attended after two years of Covid. And it set the bar high. Looking forward to returning! Hit me up in Arizona next week! LABScon

Today marks the official dedication of our new home: the Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg Center at 555 Penn Ave. I continue to be inspired by my colleagues and students at the The Alperovitch Institute Institute, Johns Hopkins SAIS, and the broader Johns Hopkins University community. A privilege and a joy.

Pleasure to speak about Joint Warfighter & Cyberspace Operations today at the 10th annual Cyber Beacon conference hosted by the National Defense University (NDU). Shout out to my fellow panelists: JD Work and @AfterWestphalia. Lively discussion and debate.
