It was great to see you today @tomwilliams.phd. Welcome to Michigan. We are just down the road in Kalamazoo.

Thanks to all the amazing people who contributed to this project.

If you're considering starting a communication and media lab, this book provides you with ideas, templates, pitfalls, and practical advice. We encourage people to take a look. It is designed to be immediately useful.

They cover narrative labs, health communication labs, social robotics labs, media analysis labs, cognitive science-informed communication labs, and labs working across social platforms.

We are proud to introduce our latest book: Creating Communication and Media Research Labs.

This volume highlights the diversity of communication and media labs across our field. These chapters offer stories, models, and concrete lessons.

Beyond the pages and projects, what we’ve shared with Leopoldina is trust, friendship, and a sense of belonging in something larger than ourselves. We are deeply grateful for all she has brought into our lives.

For me, it’s been a privilege to lend support in small ways, but the real joy has been witnessing their collaboration — the conversations, the breakthroughs, the sheer energy of two brilliant minds in dialogue.

Tonight I’m reflecting on what an incredible presence Leopoldina Fortunati has been in our lives for the past 12 years. Nearly every week, she has been a steady collaborator and writing partner with Autumn, and together they’ve built a body of work rooted in creativity, rigor, and vision.

I’m so glad our labs can sponsor things like this.

It’s almost time for the first #hmc conference.

I love this article every time I read it.
