Happy Halloween!

Just noticed that as of May 2025, Coded Bias isn’t available anywhere for streaming. Netflix took it off? Anyone else have knowledge about this?

Workshop at CLS next Thursday with Yasmin Kafai, @luismn.bsky.social and @dnoh.bsky.social

It's going to be two hours of thoughtful fun!

An absolutely amazing opportunity for senior doc students and postdocs. An opportunity for community and mentorship in academia that includes non-academic career paths in industry, nonprofits, policy, etc.

I have only ever heard fantastic things.

Organized by @luismn.bsky.social and Cecile Sadler

Wed. First with Maya and Tia (flash talks and panel). Then breakouts early afternoon. I hope I get to see you!!!

Surprise news - I'll be doing a keynote at #CSTA2025 next week. Sad that Yasmin Kafai cannot be there, but will do my best in her stead! Algorithm auditing here we come...

Deadline has been extended to June 30. Submit those research papers and showcases!

Had such a lovely time and lively conversation in the virtual watch party for #isls2025 keynote 1: Fernanda Liberali and Mutizwa Mukute.

Thank you organizers for making this possible and for everyone who joined in.

Well done. Baking as survival method for nighttime presentations?

Such a fantastic conference!!!

Looking to hear from emerging scholars & people who couldn't travel to Helsinki? Come to the virtual poster session on Th, June 12 4:30pm Helsinki time (9:30am ET, 10:30pm Tokyo).

There's even a room in person (with the session chair there) and you can attend online! #isls2025 #hybridconference

These two speakers are *amazing* and will be live-streamed so all registered attendees can participate. We encourage watch parties!

Put CLS on your calendars!

Prepare your submissions! Virtual & in-person options.

FYI, Showcases are only 2 pages & can emphasize design and implementation (or a book or article already published elsewhere).

Due June 23.

🧪 Tip: You have the right to contest a grant termination, even though NSF says you don't. 🧵

On Friday, NSF terminated 402 grants (per Musk's DOGE).

The notification letters had one of the most egregious violations of fed regulations I've seen so far in these cases:

"not subject to appeal"

One here (the only one). You’re not alone. Hard even if we were expecting it.

Learning Sciences folk, if you’ve used Tanner Vea’s work in your course (e.g., required readings, etc.), do let Tanner know.

A good idea to do for other assistant or associate faculty, as it’s a fantastic way to show impact beyond citation counts or journal quartile.

Many exciting things in the works. So delighted to be a part of this!
