Congratulations to #ACMFellow Brad A. Myers of Carnegie Mellon for receiving the 2025 CBI Human-Computer Interaction (#HCI) History Prize!
Myers was honored for his book, Pick, Click, Flick!: The Story of Interaction Techniques (#ACMBooks, 2024)—a landmark work exploring the evolution of how we interact with computers.
Described as “a reflective and highly impressive monument of a book,” it’s a must-read for anyone passionate about HCI.
👏 Well-deserved recognition!
Our next #HCIISeminarSeries guest is David Widder @davidthewid, postdoctoral fellow at Cornell Tech Digital Life Initiative (and
@scsatcmu.bsky.social
alumnus)! Join us.

David Gray Widder (he/him) studies how people creating artificial intelligence systems think about the downstream harms their systems make possible, and the wider cultural, technical, and economic logics which shape these thoughts. He is currently a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Digital Life Initiative at Cornell Tech, an affiliate of the Data & Society research institute, and a research fellow of the European AI & Society Fund.
Professor Scott Hudson is one of 55 distinguished computer scientists named to the class of 2024 ACM Fellows by the Association of Computing Machinery (ACM).Hudson was recognized for research contributions in user interface software, interactive devices, and computational fabrication applied to human-computer interaction (HCI), as well as academic and service contributions.
The application for our Summer 2025 HCI undergraduate research program is now open until January 17, 2025.
Students can choose from 25 research projects when applying to this paid, 10-week HCI REU program.

"Digital Dreams Have Become Nightmares: What We Must Do -- A Call to Action"
Join us today at 11am for a special presentation by Ronald Baecker, @ACM Distinguished Speaker and Emeritus Professor of Computer Science at the University of Toronto.
An internationally recognized innovator, author, speaker, teacher, and mentor, Ron is Emeritus Professor of Computer Science at the University of Toronto, where he co-founded the Dynamic Graphics Project (DGP) and founded the Knowledge Media Design Institute (KMDI) and the Technologies for Aging Gracefully lab (TAGlab). Every fall, he now teaches Computers and Society at Columbia University.
