Fascinating #CHI2025 talk by Cameron Moy presenting research on the addition of the ‘black-owned’ label on Yelp. The attribute/label was designed to support business visibility but unfortunately led to more negative restaurant reviews.

It was so beautiful everywhere we looked 😍 Needless to say I took an obscene amount of photos! So lucky with the weather too. Our first trip to Wales, definitely not our last!

Recently spent a wonderful week in Wales. We hiked up Snowdon on my birthday and took the campervan down the North-West coast. Everywhere we visited was stunning. What a truly beautiful part of the world. 🏴 #wales #campervan #hiking
