ALT Outdoor photo of the University of Michigan diag. There are some people calming hanging around. The encampment is in the background. An American flag occupies the center of the image.

I'm beyond excited and thrilled to announce that I'll be starting as an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at the University of Minnesota in Fall 2023!!! @UMNComputerSci @grouplens
Looking forward to this next big step... but first, time to finish up that dissertation. 😊

This article by @ceciliakang and @satariano correctly identifies the knowledge gap on AI in Congress. But there's more to it than that. 1/n, n=7

Delve into new UMSI research coming to #CHI2023 about trans tech:
Excited to share the preprint of our new #CHI2023 paper w/ @HibbyThach @kaichak3 & Aloe DeGuia. We show how involving trans people in design processes is vital for trans tech to realize its potential to address trans needs 🏳️⚧️ oliverhaimson.com/PDFs/Haims…

One crosstab I want to highlight here -- the share of Americans who say that, growing up, they were at least somewhat worried about a mass shooting at their school.
By age group;
65+: 4%
50-64: 6%
35-49: 11%
18-34: 38%

I’m so glad to see some faculty sharing their opinion about this. The faculty/staff side of the University can feel like a monolith for students — I was constantly shocked in my reporting to find specific faculty members that are incredibly supportive (behind closed doors.)

Issues like this are why I'm not excited about Mastodon. The designer didn't think through possible harms.
And like a lot of open source projects, its conceptual anchor was an existing product/service (in this case, mid-2010s Twitter).
