Our panel on Tuesday afternoon is the single event I am *most excited about* at #CSCW2024. Our community dearly needs to balance AI hype against thoughtful opportunities to integrate #AI into mental & spiritual healthcare. Add it to your schedule!

Panelists include Munmun De Choudhury, Diana Freed, Rev. George Handzo (a preeminent spiritual care expert with 150+ papers), and myself, moderated by Jingjin Li.

First ever meeting of my full research lab this afternoon! We inherited a messy room (#typical #academia) but my 3(!) PhDs can't wait to move in and make it their own. πŸ₯²πŸŽ‰ From L->R, Kamrul Siam, me, Katy Limes (on Zoom), Shadi Nourriz, and postdoc Alemitu Bezabih.

It can be hard to hire a great postdoc, but Alemitu said yes! When I made 4 PhD admissions offers, I was expecting maybe 1 or 2 yes's back. But we lucked out & these 3 wonderful humans are now stuck w/me. What a proud moment!

Does this CS@Mines swag bag for new faculty give me the warm fuzzies and some Oredigger school spirit?

Why yes. Yes it does. πŸ₯°
