Why is the vaccination age for 12 year olds in Ontario set by birth day, instead of stage in school (and all the life experience that goes with it)? Great video explaining the problem (in Lego, by an 11 year old born late in the year)

Final presentations in our cross-Canada #haptics #HCI course! I'm so impressed with what the students were able to accomplish working remotely with physical force-feedback devices. Taught with @Karonmaclean @vlevesque @jcooperstock @PourangIrani using @haply_robotics devices🤖

It was an amazing panel - thanks to all the panelists!

It was two year long journey to get #UIST2020 launched today. 6 months ago we decided to switch to virtual which forced us to completely redesign the conference. This wouldn't have been possible without the amazing UIST2020 organizing team - here's a tribute to their hard work!

BIG shoutout to our General Co-Magicians / Co-Chairs @iqbal_st & @Karonmaclean, Virtual Experience & Operations Arrangements Chairs @da_lind & @LangerakT, and Web Chairs @oschneid & @jtranoleary for their heroic efforts in bringing UIST online!

I’m going to have to watch this a couple more times to absorb it all - amazing knowledge and insights!

To kick things off, we are holding 3 virtual opening receptions TOMORROW on Discord, held at times targeting 3 regions of the world! Join to meet your fellow attendees and members of the organizing committee and to get familiar with Discord! Attendance details are in your email.
