Henry Josephson

Henry Josephson, Head Crossword Editor

Henry Josephson doesn’t have a crossword problem—he can stop whenever he wants. Indeed, to distract himself from crossword puzzles as he finishes his final year of undergrad, he TAs the AI for Public Policy course at Harris, tries to juggle too many side projects, and goes for long runs on the lakefront trail. He actually finished Infinite Jest, occasionally consults for the New York State senate, and loves solving problems. He’s trying to get a job in emerging technology policy research, believes that the B-level of the Reg—though imperfect—is an underrated study space, and would love to build a crossword puzzle with you. Seriously. Let’s find a time.
