My Intro Psych course includes an assignment where randomly paired students complete the 'Fast Friends Procedure', designed to generate closeness between strangers. Today two former students came by to tell me that they met through this class assignment and just got engaged ❤️
This just made my day! The UX design course is so much work! Bringing 13 groups of students to care homes twice in 2 months is a commitment! But when you receive comments like this it makes it all worthy
So many cool ideas to improve the life of people with dementia this year 😍
After 2 years in the making, the chapter #FriederikeEyssel & I wrote for @degruyter_pub Handbook of Society and Culture is out! It summarizes the body of research on Gender in HRI for researchers & the general public!
Thanks @autumnedwards & #LeopoldinaFortunati for having us!
📢 Happy to announce publication of the De Gruyter Handbook of Robots in Society and Culture degruyter.com/document/doi/1…, co-edited w/ Leopoldina Fortunati. So many brilliant contributions within. Special thanks to Series Ed. Anthony Elliot and @degruyter_brill#HMC@ICA_HMC#HRI
So happy to announce that I joined the editorial board of @FrontRoboticsAI (Human-Robot Interaction specialty) as Associate Editor. Thanks @alefreedot for inviting me. Looking forward to working together! ☺️
Giving a lecture after your son has been sick the whole weekend screaming like an exorcist, done! ✅
Incredible how many incredible new experiences parenthood unlocks.
*he is fine btw

Thank you @PerugiaGiulia for organizing such a great symposium at TU/e! It was an honor to share the stage with so many inspiring researchers: there is such a rich group of forward-thinking HRI researchers in such close proximity!
What an amazing day at the Symposium on Embracing diversity and social justice in social robotics organised by the amazing @PerugiaGiulia today @TUeindhoven! Such important discussions and talks (shout out to @williamstome) and so much inspiration for my own research! #hri
Tom Williams @williamstome talking about how we, as HRI researchers and developers, have a responsibility to subvert the White Patriarchal status quo attached to applications of robots in society at a social justice event @TUeindhoven organized by @PerugiaGiulia.
Friederike Eyssel @unibielefeld talking about social categorization and prejudice in HRI and how we can challenge bias in research and design of robots at a social justice in HRI event @TUeindhoven organized by @PerugiaGiulia
@PerugiaGiulia kicking off "Embracing Diversity and Social Justice in Social Robotics" symposium! Looking forward to to talks by @williamstome & friederike Eyssel @Center_HT
Leaving Zurich for the Symposium on Embracing diversity and social justice in social robotics organised by @PerugiaGiulia happening @TUeindhoven tomorrow! Very excited for the talks and discussions including keynote speakers @williamstome and Friederike Eyssel! 🤖 #HRI
Mensen met dementie zijn ‘partner in design’ bij het toepasbaar maken van technologie. Aldus prof. Wijnand IJsselstein van de @TUeindhoven op de bijeenkomst #DefeatingDementia. Warme technologie. Dat ondersteunt @alzheimernl graag!
