Talking about my research in front of the #SOUPS2022 audience was an amazing experience for me. Thanks a lot to everyone involved! Special thanks to @adamaviv for attending the mentoring program and sharing your insights! Academia needs more people like you ;)

I am constantly amazed by the incredible things people create. Zero is one of those things that show what's possible with passion and hard work. Impressive work @mi_kotalik and thanks again for trying out some of my VR work back then.

We're doing another PhD in technical HCI office hours (6th Edition): next Wed Nov 20 11-12pm: docs.google.com/document/d/1aN… Lots of cool new faculty who will join me for Q&A. Please add your questions to the doc! And, please join if you can! RT for other interested students

@taloketo Congrats on this nice launch, @taloketo. It is going viral - highly deserved :)

Judero is OUT NOW! (please make this go viral!!!) It's a handmade stop motion action adventure based on Scottish folklore We made it over 2.5 years with a small budget and just two people. It's a true passion project for us, and I hope you like it!

🔐Excited to be part of @floschaub and @erant's Privacy & Security subcommittee at CHI 2025. If you are interested in sharing work on human and usability aspects of privacy and security consider submitting to #chi2025 (and select the P&S subcommittee).

@morganklauss in theory, yes - senior folks know much more. but reality is, knowing much more doesn't end in a better review, sadly!

@morganklauss I like it, thanks for sharing your thoughts. A small addition: almost everything you posted applies to more senior folks too. I saw excellent reviews from early phds and poor reviews from very (!) senior people. So why not address *everyone* who is reviewing with your tips? :)

Apple's announcement of the "Passwords" app underscores that passwords are here to stay. Biometrics are nice, but passwords are nicer. 🙃

@mucConf Wir werden auch eine sehr informative Keynote im Rahmen dieses Workshops anbieten können. Stay tuned :)

@mucConf Zur Teilnahme genügt: Ein Erfahrungsbericht (1 - 2 Seiten), 3-minütiges Video, oder eine anderes passendes Einreichungsformat wie beispielsweise ein „Pictorial“. Video- oder Bildmaterial sollte zusätzlich mit Text begleitet werden. Wir freuen uns über zahlreiche Einreichungen!

🔎Wir organisieren einen Workshop zu (neuen) Forschungsmethoden bei der @mucConf! Sind gegenwärtig etablierte Forschungsmethoden noch angemessen? Wie können wir marginalisierte Personengruppen in der Forschung berücksichtigen? 👥Infos zur Teilnahme: unisg.link/MuCWorkshop202…

@UweGruenefeld @ACMMobileHCI Sorry to hear, Uwe. This is not acceptable. I hope there are consequences for both the 1AC and the 2AC. IMO it is 1AC's responsibility that this does not happen, or at least the 1AC could have jumped in here.

@MarkHCI @ERC_Research Congrats again, very well deserved 🥳🥳

It's been an eventful few months for me as I became a parent (Niamh is 3 weeks old now!), but also because after a rather long wait on the reserve list, my @ERC_Research Starting Grant AUGSOC (augsoc-project.org) was selected just before xmas for funding (€1.5 million)!

Are you interested in doing some exciting virtual intern projects on AR/VR/XR, brain computer interfaces etc.. come work with one of the leading research institutions without leading home - details here: empathiccomputing.org/join-us/ @EmpathicCompLab #AR #VR #XR #internships

Congrats to everyone who had #chi2024 paper accepted! And, a request: what if we made our expressions of joy and excitement less about the fact that we had N papers accepted, and more about the ideas those individual papers represent? sauvik-das.medium.com/academia-and-c…

@drmaxlwilson With these awards and privileges (e.g., being able to present only if awarded "best paper" or honourable mention), I wonder if we are increasingly turning towards an even more competitive environment. Is this truly the direction we, as a community, want to take? 2/2

@drmaxlwilson Do we need awards at all? If we start highlighting outstanding papers based on specific criteria, eg. method, prototype, analysis, then maybe. As long as the criteria are unclear/arbitrary, it may be challenging to understand why a paper is considered the "best paper" 1/2

Maybe giving presentation slots to only best papers and HMs is a good idea actually? What are your thoughts?

@JRicoWilliamson @ERC_Research Congrats! 🎉

There are no words for how happy I am to announce I’ve been awarded an @ERC_Research Consolidator Grant called FUSION with €1.98 million in funding to pursue my vision for the future of social XR #ERCCoG juliericowilliamson.com/blog/erc-conso…

@asash @iadh @debforit @craig_macdonald Congrats!

I passed my 2nd year PhD progress review! This was a great year with many research activities and successes. Thanks @iadh and @debforit for providing valuable feedback and @craig_macdonald for guiding me through the process!

@UweGruenefeld The SC have access to emergency reviewers. You may want to ping them via our internal communication channel to see if they have someone with appropriate expertise.
