Let me tell you a story. Perhaps you can guess where this is going... though it does have a bit of a twist.
I was poking around Google Scholar for publications about the relationship between chatbots and wellness. Oh how useful: a systematic literature review! Let's dig into the findings. 🧵
It feels special resurrecting (and creating manual zotero entries) for important papers from no longer active workshops and conferences (...which otherwise sounded great). Your DOIs may not be active, but I see you, brilliant papers 😍
Who’d have thought 😂😂
😂 it still doesn’t sound like a neat automated way of capturing those circled responses 😝
What I wanna know is who has time to process all that paper!

Unexpectedly, the data capturing method (a promoted diary & adapted journey map) appeared to help parents engage with online parenting advice, suggesting potential as a component of parenting support. Check out our #OA paper 😊
We were interested in methods that parents could potentially find intrinsically helpful (for self-reflection) whilst also capturing data about lived experiences and implementation challenges.
Together with @juliadabrowska.bsky.social , Alissa Antle, @juliekientz.bsky.social , Alex Chesters & Petr Slovak, we iteratively developed & tested digital probes for investigating parenting experiences.
Just accepted! 📄 🤩 Our ToCHI paper describes our approach for developing digital methods for understanding about people’s attempts to apply online advice and change their daily social practices #chi2026 🧵👇 dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/...
This is really fascinating
Wikipedia's list of linguistic and stylist "tells" of AI writing, the better to help editors recognize it

Fascinated to see how this will play out 👀
Worth a watch:
Head of Signal, Meredith Whittaker, on so-called "agentic AI" and the difference between how it's described in the marketing and what access and control it would actually require to work as advertised.
Hello @yesthattoo.bsky.social , so very nice to meet you :)
Exciting work from my colleagues @quiteneate.bsky.social and Alexandre Nevsky!
Thank you CHI2025 and all the great people within it!
