🥳 Pleased to share that our paper "Longitudinal User Engagement with Microinteraction Ecological Momentary Assessment (μEMA)" has been accepted at #IMWUT. In this paper, we conducted the first large-scale longitudinal comparison of μEMA and #EMA over a period of one year.
We are presenting two papers at UbiComp 2025 (Espoo, Finland), both of which focus on mobile and wearable experience sampling. Jixin Li will be leading the presentations (and is on the job market!). Say hello if you are around and ask a lot of questions 🙂

Totally love the fact that Copilot in RStudio uses my code comments in markdown as prompts. Has improved my productivity 2X for mundane data programming

What’s common between Twitter (or X) vs. Bluesky? They both don’t care about Indians. X amplifies raciest attacks on Indians. Bluesky is busy discussing if Elon was on H1B or not. If you are an Indian on non-immigrant visa, you are on your own. Just do your thing, work hard, and keep progressing

I hope @bsky.app uses starter pack names as some kind of content preference labels. If I follow someone from starter pack named “experience sampling researchers”, it’ll be cool to see only filtered posts from that user on experience sampling 🤔
