📣🚨NEW: ☁️ Big Cloud—Google, Microsoft & Amazon—control two thirds of the cloud compute market. They’re getting rich off the AI gold rush.

In new work with @nathanckim.bsky.social, we show how Big Cloud is expanding their empire by scrutinizing their *investments*… 🧵

📢 Announcing the 10th Mental Health Workshop at Ubicomp/ISWC 2025 in Espoo, Finland, October 12th or 13th (TBD).

📝 We invite papers exploring the role of ubiquitous computing + mental health in clinical and/or general populations.

📅 Submission deadline June 13. More ubicomp-mental-health.github.io

There are very few people who work harder for the greater public good than NSF program officers. An already challenging task of thoughtfully supporting US scientific advancement is now even harder, with there colleagues brazenly laid off to support the radical agenda of Musk.

Really excited to share a preprint of our upcoming CHI 2025 paper on designing technologies for value-based mental healthcare. I've been interested in how HCI can improve health services more broadly, and this paper takes a first step towards that.

I have a friend looking for data science / AI / ML in health / publichealth roles.

PhD-level, U.S.-based, computational biology background. Interested in high impact work. Open to both large and small companies, remote or near a major city in the U.S.

DM if you know any available opportunities!

This topic seems to be evergreen "more important than ever". The deadline for this summer program at @cornelltech.bsky.social is Jan 21!

If you want to be our neighbor at Cornell Tech, now you can: "The Bridge" (love this name) allows startup companies and other orgs to enjoy the peace and quiet of our campus (plus the proximity, of course), while staying one hop away from Manhattan.

Our DUB REU summer internship program for undergraduates is open again for applications! It's ~9 week paid, paired with a DUB faculty member and hosted at UW to work on HCI research, broadly construed.

Deadline 1/31.

Please share with your students! dub.uw.edu/reu.html

📣 New: AI depends on immense resources, mostly controlled by large companies. 



This means "open" AI… isn't very open.

Attention PhD students interested in digital safety: applications are now open for the Security, Trust, and Safety Fellowships at Cornell Tech!

Eligible projects must focus on adversarial threats to security, privacy and user safety on digital infrastructures.

I'm recruiting a PhD student to join the Human AI Collaboration lab at Kellogg, NU CS, and @nicoatnu.bsky.social

If you're excited about computational social science, LLMs, digital experiments, real-world problem solving, this could be a great fit

highly recommend for phd students who want to transition from reviewing to ac-ing! I was an ac for the lbw track last year and it was very manageable and a great learning experience :)

I'm recruiting 1-2 PhD students to work with me at the University of Colorado Boulder! Looking for creative students with interests in #NLP and #CulturalAnalytics.

Boulder is a lovely college town 30 minutes from Denver and 1 hour from Rocky Mountain National Park 😎

Apply by December 15th!

Intro'ing! I'm a researcher in #HCI / #Health / #UbiComp / Responsible #AI. Developing data-driven tech and AI models for clinical care. #mentalhealth focused to date.

Excited to connect with folks 🙂

The health policy and economics division at Weill Cornell is hiring a programmer analyst. Successful candidates will have experience building and analyzing insurance claims data files for research. We have a fun and collaborative environment! jobs.weill.cornell.edu/NY/job/New-Y...
