Please join us in congratulating longtime staff member, Queenie Kravitz, on her retirement today. She started @CarnegieMellon in 1993 and the HCII in 2004, and as graduate program coordinator certified our very first HCI PhD and master's degrees. Congrats, Queenie!

Need to solve PDEs, and struggle with meshing?
Heard about "Walk on Spheres," but didn't know where to start?
Check out the awesome intro course by @rohansawhney1 and @baileymmiller1, just posted from #SGP2024: youtube.com/watch?v=1u-5b492…

Researchers at the @cuatlas Institute at CU Boulder hope their DIY machine will help designers experiment with making their own, sustainable textiles from a range of natural ingredients—maybe even crab shells or algae!
