At #chi2025 this year, see our group's latest: a projectional editor for augmenting math formulas, and a study of augmented AI-generated texts.
Look out for these faces! Jeff, @hitakam.bsky.social, and I are excited to reconnect with old friends and make new ones.

Today at #uist2025 my student Jeffrey Tao presented our new paper "Answering Developer Questions with Annotated Agent-Discovered Program Traces" While it is too late to catch the talk, you can still find Jeff! I'm happy to make connections over email.

Academic friends, what is the advice for rebutting a fatally low review from a PC member that only points to a few minor (fixable) writing issues? Would you message a PC lead about the review? Does a polite rebuttal stand a chance of changing this reviewer's mind?

for pity’s sake, I am BEGGING university leaders to stop framing this issue in terms of what this will cost the university. people dont care!
EXPLAIN WHAT THIS WILL COST THE PUBLIC: closed hospitals and clinics, skipped treatments, loss of access to experimental drugs, unemployment, recession

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service.
“Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

It's great to come on to Bluesky and see so many old friends here. A good first post may be to remind everyone that Penn's PhD application deadline this is Dec. 16. We at Penn HCI are recruiting this year! Myself in the areas of HCI/PL and augmented reading. We welcome your application!
