Congrats to Julia Ying on completing her undergrad thesis and graduating! 🎉 Her thesis focused on a multi-registry system for decentralized discovery and curation, exploring new power dynamics and trust mechanisms in the OpenCourier protocols. Wishing her all the best for what's next!
If you're at #CHI26 like most of CITP this week, be sure to check out postdoctoral researcher Sohyeon Hwang's (@s0hw.bsky.social) presentation "Community Governance and Moderation" on Friday morning 🔻
📲 Researchers at @princetoncitp.bsky.social have created a social media tool that allows users to build their own social media feeds from scratch.
Meet Bonsai. 🌳
Big congratulations to our very first PhD graduate, Dr. Varun Rao, on successfully defending his dissertation today! 🎉

🏃♀️ homestretch! start your last day at #CHI2026 at the "Community Governance and Moderation" 9AM session tomorrow in Room 114 🤠 I'll be presenting our new work envisioning how we can make community-run social media more sustainable through a "community of communities": dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/...
