The Citizen Lab is an interdisciplinary laboratory based at the Munk Centre for International Studies at the University of Toronto, Canada focusing on advanced research and development at the intersection of digital media and world civic politics.

The Citizen Lab has created such software as psiphon, and I have great respect for the work they do to keep the internet open. I was lucky enough to take a class with Professor Ronald J. Deibert and have Nart Villeneuve, who I will be reporting to during my internship, as my TA. Im really looking forward to it as this will give me a chance to work on software in a very diferent enviorment, and maybe even push some GPL code out into the wild. For more info about the Citizen Lab see the video below.

Edit: And as an extra bonus it seems I will get to code in python!
