This tweet speaks for itself.

There's a lot of touch research nowadays, but not much on hugs. Even though hugs are so common in everyday life! So we thought it is time to look at hugging styles :) with @chrisjedgar and @mbanissy https://t.co/GvP6Qjobfs

Really lucky to have worked with some great colleagues on this paper led by @dueren_al - what we currently know about tactile intimacy and sleep….watch this space for new empirical research on the topic coming from @dueren_al soon

I’m really excited to be able share this news. Following The Touch Test, now publishing a book on the new science of touch. Such an important sense. So much great new work coming through on this topic. I feel very lucky to be able to share a book about it!

One more bit of news, I’m delighted to say that I’ll be joining @BristolUniPsych as Head of Psychological Science in January. I’m really looking forward to work with some fantastic new colleagues and students. Such a great group of people, I’m very lucky to be joining the team

Congratulations to the Outstanding PhD Dissertation Award winner of AAAC: Natasha Jaques from @mit @medialab for her thesis "Social and Affective Machine Learning" just announced at @acii_conf. Excellent advances by @natashajaques !

Excellent paper by @NeilCRabinowitz et al. (2018) @DeepMind; modelling human-like #TheoryofMind in #machines. Both compelling and potentially very useful for developing #tech that can augment social interaction in those suffering from related impairments.

A great article by @katecrawford on the need to regulate emotion-recognition AI - looking forward to the book. #ai #affectivecomputing #emotionrecognition #emotionai https://t.co/IwL5x2neYe
