WAIT I changed my mind bc I found out you can use a custom domain I'm now at bsky.app/profile/jayl.in :D
btw I use this username everywhere! trying to get off of twitter and migrate to the other blue one (do we still have to censor that idk)
I love this summary of "what to learn in a PhD." What Jack points out seems like a simple principle, but living through the intellectual uncertainty and chaos of being lost in your research for a long time—it's emotionally much harder learn to do it than it sounds.
the most satisfying takeaway from a phd is that you can solve problems far beyond your capabilities if you're willing to throw yourself at them again and again, over a long period, while staying open to new ideas it's not really about being smart. just curious & persistent
🎉So proud of PhD student @jayhersk Jaylin Herskovitz for receiving the @umichgradschool Susan Lipschutz Award! Congrats!👏 It recognizes her outstanding achievements, the interest in social responsibility, & a commitment to supporting women in academia. cse.engin.umich.edu/stories/phd-st…

A nice article @EllieSeehorn and @jayhersk wrote about our lab, appearing in the Fall Crossroads magazine @XRDS_ACM: dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.114…
What if paper abstracts weren’t just static summaries? In our #UIST2024 paper, we present Qlarify, a mixed-initiative system built on a lightweight interaction technique that expands abstracts with details from the full text—empowering scholars to dive deeper, faster.
btw I’m at #UIST2024 !! ft. @xinyun_c on mt. washington (obligatory paper presentation tweet coming soon. watch this space)
(okay no more retweeting this i have my reviews now haha)
so I volunteered for my #chi2025 reviews a bit late and my name might not have shown up in the system in time! if anyone is looking for a last-minute reviewer for accessibility systems work feel free to email me :)

CDC changing covid isolation guidelines because 'most people' have immunity. This will be a surprise to the near 10,000 people who died of covid in January and the tens of thousands more that will die in the coming months. Nothing more than eugenics for capitalism
