Archived from the original on May 13, After a few months of being involved, Judy was elected president of the Manitowoc County chapter in Wisconsin, which went on to become the first statewide NOW organization. Goldsmith serves on the board of Sapiens Plurum, which offers annual prizes for short science fiction that envisions options for a better future.

Education and career

Goldsmith graduated from Princeton University in , with a bachelor's degree in mathematics.[1] She completed her Ph.D. at the University of Wisconsin–Madison in mathematics (with a minor in computer science) in Her dissertation, Polynomial Isomorphisms and Near-Testable Sets, was supervised by Deborah Joseph.[2]

After short-term positions as a lecturer at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, research instructor at Dartmouth College, and NSF visiting professor at Boston University, she joined the computer science faculty at the University of Manitoba in She moved to the University of Kentucky in [1]

Public opinion

In computer science education, Goldsmith has spoken in favor of using science fiction in preference to case studies for teaching the ethics of artificial intelligence.[3] She is Jewish, and participates in the Lexington, Kentucky Havurah.[4] Dr.

Goldsmith serves on the board of Sapiens Plurum, which offers annual prizes for short science fiction that envisions options for a better future.[5]

Recognition

Goldsmith won the Mentor Award of the American Association for the Advancement of Sciences in [6]
