Really proud of all the work Jasmine Lu (@xjasminelu ) has done so far in her PhD (check jasminelu.site/) and this @sigchi award goes to her "pioneering research in ecological HCI through novel hardware interfaces and fostering communities around sustainable computing"!

Does autoplay make you watch more? Our study on Netflix says yes! It removes that bit of friction needed for you to decide to watch more. Read about our study here: cs.uchicago.edu/news/the-hid… #darkpatterns #autoplay #attentioncapture

I had a great time visiting the CS department at Notre Dame this week, chatting with faculty & sharing the work I've done with @ineffablicious & @tlclegg over the last decade. I was also really excited to see how the HCI group at ND is growing--lots of great work happening there!

I am so happy @jvitak got to visit @ND_CSE !! She shared over a decade of work 🎉 Felt like a full circle moment, because I co-authored my first ever PhD paper with her, @zashktorab, & @pamwis which btw took FOREVER to get published 😅 But learned so much from the experience ♥️

This @acm_chi paper presents a systematic study of platforms' community guidelines. They develop a taxonomy and annotate the policies of 43 large online platforms. Cool resource that could be extended to study temporal changes to community guidelines.
