@Franklin_M_Li Oh no! Feel better soon.

Tested Covid positive for the first time in life after traveling back from #ASSETS2024. Please mask up and get yourself tested if we interacted at ASSETS! I got two vaccines and booster shots! It is not over yet!

@wobbrockjo Wow, I’m impressed! That lake is super cold!

I am on the #SoftwareEngineering #Teaching Job Market! After co-creating & co-instructing two software engineering courses at CMU I am looking for teaching-focused faculty positions in SE. If you know anyone who is hiring, please let me know! Retweets welcome.

@djg98115 But… hierarchy is so fundamental! I suppose we’ll have to find examples from human organizations now…

For folks who teach computer-science, many/most of today's undergraduates have not: 1. Used a tree-based file system (even via a GUI) 2. Paid attention to where their persistent data is stored 3. Installed software outside of the app-in-app-store model. This is not bad! 1/2

"Nearly 90% of researchers who develop robots for autistic people didn’t bother to ask autistic people if they need the technologies, says Naba Rizvi, a computer science Ph.D. student...and a self-identifying autistic woman." today.ucsd.edu/story/computer…

Are you watching the Olympics🏅 or enjoying your summer holidays? ☀️ Don't forget that in less than 4 months is the submission deadline for CHASE 2025! We are eager to receive your submission conf.researchr.org/home/chase-2025 #CHASE2025

@jeffbigham The absent-minded professor!

Great article about research in AI and marginalized communities. cmu.edu/news/stories/a…

@venkypotluri @jcmankoff @jonfroehlich @shaunkane @amyjko Great job, Dr. Potluri!

I successfully defended my PhD dissertation titled ‘A Paradigm Shift in Nonvisual Programming’ on June 5. Grateful for boundless support from my advisor @jcmankoff , my committee members @jonfroehlich @shaunkane and @amyjko , my family, and so many friends and colleagues.

A short intro to our latest CHI paper, 'Are Robots Ready to Deliver Autism Inclusion?' out now on TikTok, Insta, and YouTube! #autism #actuallyautistic #neurodiversity #robots #tech

the fabulous & brilliant 💓💖@Naba_Rizvi 💖💓taught me about the shocking prevalence of ableist (pathologizing, infantilizing) ideology across HRI literature; how robotic interventions are often designed *for* (but not *WITH*) Autistic people. #chi24 dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/36…
