I meet George Kellaris at Hi-Rise Bakery, where he waves off my attempts to pay for coffee. Kellaris is a second-year postdoc who divides his time between Harvard’s Center for Research on Computation and Society and the Computer Science program at Boston University. As an undergraduate, Kellaris chose computer science over his other passion – psychology. But he did not forsake the social sciences entirely. Indeed, Kellaris is a fine example of CRCS’ central mission – to do computational science research not for its own sake, but for the good of society.
