What if we gave people control over their feeds instead of banning social media? Check out Marianne Aubin Le Quéré’s latest article www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-... Our lab is exploring this with Bonsai, which lets people curate Bluesky feeds using natural language. Try Bonsai: getbonsai.org
Do We Ban Social Media? Maybe Not
We can put online users in the driver's seat instead.

Big congratulations to our very first PhD graduate, Dr. Varun Rao, on successfully defending his dissertation today! 🎉 Varun has been an incredible part of the PrincetonHCI Lab, and we’re so proud to celebrate this milestone with him. Excited to see all the impactful work ahead!
Congrats to Julia Ying on completing her undergrad thesis and graduating! 🎉 Her thesis focused on a multi-registry system for decentralized discovery and curation, exploring new power dynamics and trust mechanisms in the OpenCourier protocols. Wishing her all the best for what's next!
