I'm excited to be co-chairing CSCW 2025 (@cscw@hci.social) with Fabiano Pinatti. Please follow CSCW here on Mastodon and/or Bluesky, as we will no longer post to Twitter. #cscw2025

Here's a pic of some of the amazing 2025 organizing committee members!

I'd like to thank Past Vitak for setting a deadline two days early in her to-do list, because I was just about to request a two-day extension for this task, then realized Past Vitak had tricked Future Vitak by purposefully listing the date early.

Oh the games we play with our brains.

If you're attending CSCW this fall, I hope you'll join us for an important discussion of the peer review crisis. We'll have numerous ways for people to ask questions and contribute leading up to and during the panel. #cscw2024

@andresmh@hci.social I can't sleep on planes so red-eyes were always hard. I'm currently five days out from returning from Asia and my brain is still very confused.
