Attending @acm-cscw.bsky.social 2025? Join our Special Interest Group on Behind the Scenes: A SIG on Researcher Care and the Invisible Care Work. We will be envisioning how we can reimagine researcher wellbeing as a shared, community-supported practice (beyond the individual practice of self-care).

For the next six days, I'll be posting a bunch about #CSCW2025 in Bergen, Norway. I am one of the General Chairs and have been preparing this conference for the last 21 months, so it's exciting to have the event finally here! Don't know what CSCW is? Check out cscw.acm.org

Five research questions that every scientific abstract must answer: CONTEXT 1. Why did you do it? PROBLEM 2. What did you do? SOLUTION 3. How did you do it? RESULTS 4. What did you find out? IMPLICATIONS 5. What does it all mean? Yes, this is a mini version of your paper.

If you are submitting papers, you (or those in your co author team) should be reviewing papers. Louder for those in the back: IF YOU ARE SUBMITTING YOUR AUTHOR TEAM SHOULD BE REVIEWING !!

New rant: Journals that have automated emails but ignore any replies.. Yes, I know I haven't returned that review as I raised queries and need some clarification.. Yes, the proofs have not been checked as the system is not working.. Automation isn't always the answer

How can I get through to colleagues in a non-passive-aggressive way that when we add comments to documents, the changes need to be implemented in the body of the document, not replied to in the comments!

Amazing Erin O'Doherty being called a teen as the wonderful age of 32! Journalism used to be a fine art now it's more careless writing we would fail an undergrad for

Remember that time 95% of Iceland’s women went on strike from their paid work and unpaid household labour and childcare? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1975_Ic...

After a break from work, I now find myself to be a liberal user of the delete function when trying to get through 100s of emails! I love this new free me !

Listening to Japanese on stage during the closing keynote of #CHI2025 by Masako Wakamiya makes this the perfect CHI to have presented our Lost in Translation paper; questioning the centrality of English in HCI thinking and communicating about our thinking.

Say it after me: Chat GPT is not a search engine. It does not scan the web for information, it just generates statistically likely sentences. You cannot use it a search engine, or as a substitute for searching. Now. Please never use an LLM for information searches ever again.

Every head of department explaining his justification for why he hasn’t hired more women: #CHI2025

Hi #CHI2025 please help share or take part if you are interested and qualify.

What is foreground/background contrast anyway? #CHI2025

Seeing literature reviews being published that have missed key works, what can we do? Reach out to authors/ editors? A reminder when we use existing literature to make assertions

I made a site to show all the trans/queer content at #CHI2025. There are 13 papers on Monday alone! padlet.com/haimson/chi

What is with the questions at presentations that follow the, "really interesting work, did you ever think about this abstract thing that has nothing to do with your work? And how do you think about that?" Type questions ?! #CHI2025

When designing to prevent gender based violence, why are most of the interventions and programmes designed for victims to change behaviours not focused on preventing perpetrators to change their behaviours ?? As presented so well in altCHI session by Linnea Öhlund and Angelika Strohmayer #CHI2025

How can the users control the sustainability factors involved in using AI when it is integrated and inbuilt and becoming ubiquitous in our world? I.e., AI is integrated into WhatsApp Being told to use it frugally and responsibly, which I agree with, how can we limit our use? #CHI2025 #CHI25

Here we go again #CHI2025 in Yokohama, along with 5000 other HCI and allied researchers and professionals.

Love seeing some of the papers I was involved in reviewing get awards at #CHI2025 - I love that championing papers makes a difference. I try to be the person I want for my work and hope there are more of us out there! As hard and overwhelming as it feels, academic community service matters :)

Will be at #CHI2025 Reach out if you'll be there; I plan to exceed my daily caffeine intake whilst chatting! Especially, if you're working on topics on marginalisation, accessibility, disability or women's health!

Oh look, someone breaks the law and then is not able to lead a country...

As Joey once said, "Pleh"

Emergency hormonal contraception (the morning-after pill) will be available for FREE at pharmacies in England. 🥳 We welcome this decision that will help to make reproductive healthcare more accessible to all. Read our comment: www.msichoices.org.uk/news/emergen...

I am not usually a fan of video calls with the video turned off, but never have I been so grateful to be able to react off screen

I lost all my open browser tabs after over a year, (more than 75) and I feel oddly free and terrified in similar proportions!

How dense do you have to be that this needed to be added to an online address form: "Please note: the United States of America can be found under "USA".

I just said no to conference service. Would have loved to serve in that role and am fond of the conference. But it’ll be held in the US and I can’t feasibly exploit myself to contribute to events I am banned from joining. (Affects all trans/nb folks) www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Took a small break, is the world still burning?

Inaccessible spaces aren’t just unwelcoming—they’re discriminatory. They send a clear signal that disabled people aren’t a priority, reinforcing a harmful narrative of exclusion and inequality. #WeAreBillionStrong #Accessibility #AXSChat #SDGs #Equity #Disability
