Congratulations @katestarbird.bsky.social! Super well-deserved.
#CHI2026 program is shaping up: here's the first glimpse at the list of accepted workshops: chi2026.acm.org/workshops/ac...
This will be a really fun @chi.acm.org ! (Reminder that there's no added fee this year to attend workshops, they will happen throughout the conference!)
Great article! I chuckled at: “prior knowledge of six-seven demands releasing its utterance when numerically provoked”
As a parent of a 13 and 10 year old, I’ve been observing the 6-7 phenomenon since June with much amusement. I’m a little sad to see its demise. I suspect teachers aren’t though!
Join us for the final talk of HCDE’s 2025 Research Speaker Series!
This Thursday, Assistant Professor Sucheta Ghoshal will share insights from her work with social movements that actively resist dominant computational technology.
📅 Thursday, Dec. 4
⏰ 4:30 – 5:20 p.m.
📍 134 Sieg, UW campus
This is awesome! Do you know if these professorships are open rank, or are you looking for more senior applicants? The listed requirement of a proven funding track record makes me think you’re not looking for fresh PhDs.
So happy to hear this, Kate. Wishing you both all the best.
I’m giving a free/public talk this Tues in Seattle about how US government investment in science laid the foundations for the field of human-computer interaction and how that field (and investment) connects to so many of the innovations that we take for granted, as well as the future of AI.
At @hcde.uw.edu, we will be hiring an Assistant or Associate Teaching Professor this coming year! Timing wise, we are hiring for a Sept. 2026 start date, but could be sooner.
We are looking forward to welcoming a new colleague!

1. Federal funding for research promotes tech, biomedical, and scientific discovery in the US, and provides training for the sci/tech workforce that has brought immeasurable wealth to the US over the past 75 years.
Today's executive order includes a provision that will obliterate both functions.
Email from the "PUBLIC RECORDS OFFICE" to Kate Starbird asking for all emails from Jan 1 2021 through July 30 2025 with any of the following keywords: "diversity and inclusion" "DEIA" "DEI" "Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging" "DEIB" "gender identity" "racial preference" "ESG" "organizational equity" "intersectionality" "anti-racism" "critical race theory" "LGBTQ+" "transgender" "cisgender" "gender ideology" "white privilege" "privilege walk" "cultural humility" "equity audit" "restorative justice" "racial equity" "implicit bias" "microaggressions" "inclusive pedagogy" "identity-based oppression" "systems of oppression" "queer" "non-binary" "sexuality" “Trump” “fascist”
If anyone is curious about the current list of search terms being used by right wing activist organizations to harass university professors, here's a public records request I received today from Mike Howell of the Heritage Foundation. Not intimidating or meant to curtail by my speech at all, right?
Excited about this upcoming #CHIPLAY2025 paper led by @nishadevasia.bsky.social on people’s meaningful experiences with games!
👋
Thanks for making this list!
We got a visit from @seattletimes.com on Monday at KidsTeam. You can try Aayushi Dangol's AI Puzzlers for yourself!

BREAKING: Scientists are staging a “science fair” in the lobby of a Congressional building to tell elected officials about the critical knowledge the US will lose because their research grants have been canceled.
MAGA is more than a political movement—it’s a symbolic system that answers dislocation with identity, confusion with clarity, and loss with belonging. If we want to push back, we need more than critique. We need a new story—and the civic infrastructure to support it.
The failure of the National Academy of Sciences USA to make a clear and unequivocal statement about the disastrous Trump administration science policies — it lets all of us down and dooms them to eventual irrelevance.
Super proud of @nishadevasia.bsky.social for leading the research for this #DIS2025 paper!
I’m signed up to do this for my hometown in Ohio! I’ve already drafted the op ed and sent it to the movements editor and my non-scientist family for feedback. I’d encourage all my other fellow small town origin scientists to do the same. Happy to help.
If you want to see the planned impact on science with the proposed National Science Foundation cuts, this table in particular demonstrates it most devastatingly. Going from 330,000 people to 90,000 people involved in NSF activities. #SaveNSF

Offshore wind and marine energy can boost energy security and economic revitalization along our coastlines.
HCDE’s Shana Hirsch leads research that centers community voices in the development of this emerging industry, but recent cuts to federal funding put this community-driven research at risk.
I’m hoping that there will be some rapid action to get legal support to the PhD students who have had their NSF GRFP (fellowships) terminated in the Trump regime’s latest attacks on academia.
💯
say it again:
4 million people work in higher ed, the largest employer in 10 states, second largest employer in 10 more, and in 60 of the 100 biggest cities
ROI for NIH and NSF for local economies is conservatively 4x, often close to 10x
demolishing higher education is economic sabotage
ProPublica continues to earn my monthly workplace giving donation. I encourage you to support their journalism as well.
Yes! We have to move the needle on public perception of science. Scientists can share their story in a LOCAL HOMETOWN PAPER op-ed, published June 16! #McClintockLetters #SciComm
Share how we serve the public with fed dollars, & insights into fed funded research. tinyurl.com/McClintockLetters
Happy Birthday, #NSF. Thank you for all you’ve done for promoting science and innovation for the betterment of society. #SaveNSF
On the NSF's 75th:
“‘NSF investments have driven groundbreaking innovations, from the internet and LASIK eye surgery to the first image of a black hole... The foundation has also played a key role in the work of 268 Nobel Prize laureates, helping to shape many of their landmark achievements.’”
Oh nooooo, this is not good! Workday had made everyone miserable and less efficient at the same time for $300+ million more.
