Our study in PLOS One is out! Speaking out of turn: How video conferencing reduces vocal synchrony and collective intelligence

More evidence that cameras shouldn't always be on:

Pairs were just as smart under audio-only communication—and they had more equal participation.

Visual cues can be distracting. You don't always need to see people's faces to collaborate effectively.

First map of 2020, my home county. Biden is the first Democratic nominee since Dukakis to hit 60% of the vote in Allegheny. Also the 1st time since at least 1964, and possibly ever, that Dems have carried McCandless, Franklin Park, and Upper St. Clair. Welcome to the realignment.

Oliver and Blaine's paper is a fantastic example of how HCI can be used to improve patient care in hospitals today. See: "Feel My Pain: Design and Evaluation of Painpad, a Tangible Device for Supporting Inpatient Self-logging of Pain". #CHI2018
