Thanks for decorating my office! The tenure process is deeply anticlimactic, having a tangible representation means a lot to me. Xi and Lucas are graduating next week and beginning as Assistant Professors, I'm excited to continue to support them on their academic journeys.

I wouldn't have gotten tenure without the amazing hard work of my PhD students: @Xi_Lu_HCI, @Luke_ms, @ekjo15, @Dwnnis, Whitney-Jocelyn Kouaho, and Matthew Dressa. The insights that they bring out in studies and papers is what keeps me excited about the job.

Have you experienced fraudulence while conducting an HCI study? You are not alone! Consider submitting a case study to our @acm_chi #chi2024 workshop to discuss experiences, define fraud, brainstorm strategies on research integrity, and build community. https://t.co/ku1cYVNeBl
