Hello #chi2025! The Late-Breaking Work track is recruiting Associate Chairs (ACs). ACs oversee 8-10 submissions and play a key role in shaping the posters program at the conference. We welcome both experienced and new ACs. See more info and volunteer here: forms.gle/vW1G5GT525axBH…

The second Southeast Regional CHI/CSCW meetup will be happening April 12, 10am-4:30pm at Emory University! Please share, and if you would like to attend or are interested in presenting, register here: forms.gle/pGiXQpc97wRLEt…

Working with @park_soya , our initial report on gradschool.chat is here: arxiv.org/abs/2312.06024 Biggest takeaway: the assistant was more helpful in helping students reflect on their own goals; and factual information about faculty helped with this reflection. 1/

I'm on the job market! I'll be finishing my Post Doc at @MSFTResearch (summer 2024). My work explores ways to measure & address AI-related risks while ensuring impacted communities get a seat at the table. I'm open to TT faculty roles & research focused industry jobs. About me:

@jonfroehlich @lucyluwang We are in the same boat! We published about a system to improve navigation issues in academic papers. The paper itself is not accessible & we can't apply the system to it 😂 dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/35…

Ironically, one of the most important accessibility papers I've ever been part of—our CHI'21 "What do we mean by 'Accessibility Research'?"—is not accessible. We submitted a fully accessible PDF but current @ACMDL version is like a giant scanned image. doi.org/10.1145/341176…

@ykotturi @chinmay 💜💜💜

We did it! :) @chinmay

Is going to conference presentations worth it?🤔 Yes! It increases citing of 1. Papers you are interested in by 52% (direct effect) 2. Other papers in same session by 51% (serendipity effect) v2 of paper with @park_soya @ProfNeilT @karger: arxiv.org/abs/2209.01175 (1/4)

@cal_liang @NU_SoC Huge congrats Calvin!!!! 🎉🎉🎉☺️😊

What a dream come true to share that I’ll be joining Northwestern University’s School of Communication as a Mancosh Postdoctoral Fellow this fall! 🪩🎉 @NU_SoC

@ai2_litweeture I have papers about collaboration workflow of AI developers (i.e. data scientist-domain experts) dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/33… dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/34… and about how researchers with different ability read together dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/35…

"What are some good papers describing knowledge workers' workflows, tools, and challenges?" ~ posted by 🧑 a senior student or researcher who 📚 published before at CHI. ✅ The poster is endorsed by their collaborator, who is 📄 someone who has around 1090 citations.

I’m on the job market! I design and build systems that reimagine the design of social information spaces (SM platforms and the web) to increase end-user empowerment and reliability of online content. Please get in touch if you know of any relevant industry or academic positions!

Stick of the day 🍃🍂🍁

Toby should appreciate the fall more than his stick 🍁🍂 #stickoftheday

Toby, the stick keeper

Stick in action

Toby hadn’t had any stick for a while, so he decides to reward himself with a massive stick and actually ran with it 😭😂 stick of the day ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (plus three ⭐️s for the size)

@roboticwrestler DO it!!!

Resisting the urge to tweet photos of my new (and first ever) cat.

Stick of the day ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Enjoying the post deadline stick. This stick makes me do awkward smile. Would pick up again
