Not sure what happened at #chi2026 but all of my tops seem to have gotten a bit smaller each day. Food has been good though

The queue to get into the qualitative research methods session (this full) is 30 people deep - good that so many people want to talk about it! #chi2026

In the #chi2026 health personal informatics session. First is on qualitative interpretative visualisations for meeting health goals. Social features were more important.

Another CHI another failing wifi. 🫠 oh well. Laptops down and actually listen ❤️ #chi2026

On my way to #chi2026

Find me at #CHI2026 as a member of the ACM CHI Conference steering committee, and a member of the working group that recommended the new polices for peer review at CHI. I’ll also be there as incoming Editor-in-Chief of IJHCS, head of the Brain Data Group, and Mercator Fellow at KD2School.

While reviewing for #CHI2026, I've noticed four new writing issues in #HCI papers, likely due to an increased use of #LLMs / #AI. I describe them here - and how to fix them: dbuschek.medium.com/when-llms-wr...

When LLMs Write Our Papers

Four writing issues I notice as a reviewer — and how to fix them

Being an AC for #chi2026 has been interesting so far. I’m senior reviewer for 7 papers and reviewer for 6. - 4 assisted desk rejects (ADR) - 2 more should have been ADR - only 1 useless ChatGPT review. - 5 reviews where text doesn’t justify the recommendation clearly (that I asked them to fix)

Yessssss. First agree-to-review for #chi2026 from a world leading professor. It was worth asking busy people :)

#chi2026 papers in. Noice.

This is how @sainsburys.bsky.social sells 50% extra juice . Careful colour groups. Blue for orange and green for apple. And green for orange. We now have 2 orange and 2 orange. Just went back for 2 apple to meet original shopping list.

If you are in the process of designing a #fNIRS study to investigate cognition and want a list of dos and don'ts, have a look at our primer. Pre-print available here: osf.io/preprints/ps... @islalj.bsky.social @chiarabulgarelli.bsky.social @paola182.bsky.social @antoniahamilton.bsky.social

new preprint - do you use #fnirs to study cognition? do you want to learn how to design better studies? our primer aims to get you started on using #fnirs for real-world #cognitive #neuroscience osf.io/preprints/ps...

It’s possible my slack is getting an AI upgrade. But I’m not totally sure. I think possibly 25 more email confirmations would help.

Exciting news: The Fairness, Accountability, Transparency and Ethics (FATE) group at Microsoft Research NYC is hiring a predoctoral fellow!!! 🎉 www.microsoft.com/en-us/resear...

In a world-wide first. My expenses from #chi2025 were approved first time , no mistakes.

We have Rakesh Patibanda from @monashuniversity.bsky.social speaking at the MRL today.

Interestingly I flew east across Europe and Asia to #chi2025 and also east over Canada Greenland to come back to England. I don’t think I’ve ever done that before.
