"Bullying is a means for mediocre scientists to rise to the top. Some star academics reached their position because they are bullies, not in spite of it." - Excellent piece about bullying in academia (and really any other professional environment). nature.com/articles/s4156…

Finally got my registration for #CHI2023. Can't wait to be there! Excited to meet old and new hci friends!

Eating in the metaverse- why we need to counter consumption driven dev with human centric design - fantastic paper: programs.sigchi.org/chi/2023/progr… ⁦ACM CHI Conference⁩ #chi2023

Can I just say that I am *extremely disappointed* with how #CHI2023 is handling the "hybrid experience" for folks attending online. 🧵

#chi2023 done.

Brilliant time ACM SIGCHI with Piotr Mirowski @bsky.social Sophia Ppali Alexandra Covaci. One of the best comference experiences I've ever had. Thanks to the organisers #chi2023 , see you next year!

PhDs require alone time, but connection is where we add value. When people come together they can produce something bigger. So, spend time alone but also connect with others - colleagues, friends, peers, or mentors. They have a lot to offer. #PhD #Collaboration

The Extended Reality Symposium is off to a great start! Dr. Mar Gonzalez-Franco, who is a Computer Scientist and Neuroscientist at Google, gave an exceptional keynote speech followed by a compelling speech from professor and director of Pioneer Centre for AI Serge Belongie #ExtendedReality #XR

Had a great and inspiring three days at the Post CHI #xr summer school and symposium in Copenghagen. Got to see some great talks, receive a lot of feedback and meet some amazing people.

University of Kent have ripped up an agreement with the UCU branch, but we can still prevent compulsory redundancies - please sign & share our petition: chng.it/TbCjwkjf

Had a great time at the Spaces+Interfaces Summer School last week! The talks and fellow participants were very inspiring. Something I really liked was that 1/4 of the participants were postdocs/faculty and were actively participating in the sessions. Thank you @HCIBremen ACM SIGCHI

What a wonderful #DIS2023 doctoral consortium with such inquisitive students and faculty mentors! Check out their posters during the main conference! (Apologies photo doesn’t capture all participants) Corina Sas Sunyoung park @acmdis2023

We are constantly learning how cross-disciplinary research fosters new perspectives and innovations that are difficult to achieve within a single field. Thank you Sophia Ppali, Julija Vaitonytė & Evy van Weelden for sharing your experiences! #careerstories #academia #phdlife #MSCA
