The 2025 DTR annual letter is out! I open up about how we care for our students, and help them grow in ways that universities often overlook. I also share thoughts on the activity of research, and how we can engage with it in light of its goods. Enjoy! DTR.northwestern.edu/letters

Kapil (@kapowgarg) has been prototyping a system to help members of communities of practice develop effective work and learning strategies. He’s looking forward to testing the system in Northwestern’s DTR undergraduate research program soon.

.@lmaliakal & I talk about teaching human-centered system building, computational tools to help people help each other without steamrolling individuals’ goals, & how the
@DeltaLabNU & @DTR_DeltaLab are supporting their members during this difficult time. traffic.libsyn.com/cs179/des…

.@kgajos and I are revamping Harvard's human-computer interaction (HCI) curriculum, and we just adopted the concept of a research canvas from @DTR_DeltaLab. Students understand the research roadmap and how their weekly work fits into the big project picture.
Delta Lab grads' research shows how instructors can help engineering and design teams learn to iteratively design and test better using a "design canvas"--excited for their talk at #ICLS2018 ! xitter.cf/DeltaLabNU/status/1006…

Platforms like Uber and Airbnb claim to democratize micro-entrepreneurship - but also create a precarious labor population. @julie_hui describes #CSCW2018 research about how tech-enabled pathways to entrepreneurship could better align with worker values. medium.com/acm-cscw/can-soci…

Nice article on my new NSF CRII grant project. Working with PhD student @jamiesarahg to study growth mindset interventions in CS!
Research by @Nellorourke of @sesp_nu and @NorthwesternEng is among the first looking at the #growthmindset in #computerscience. bit.ly/2EqnEmM

@soylentqueen gave a fantastic #UIST2018 talk on Ply, a visual web inspector we developed (with Josh Hibschman and @hqz) to help novices use their visual intuition to learn CSS from professional webpages. Congrats on the honorable mention! @DTR_DeltaLab @DeltaLabNU

We trolled our way to a #UIST2018 Honorable Mention! Join me on Wednesday 14:00 in C01 (the auditorium) for the talk. Unfortunately there will be no smartphone prosthetic limbs but it will still be a lot of fun
pleased to announce I've crossed the last item off my undergraduate bucket list by publishing a paper with the following sentence:
![A screenshot of a section of a paper set in the ACM SIGCHI template. It reads:
Future work: "'Style sheet languages are terribly under-researched.' This statement dates back from 1999, but it is still true" [12]. This statement dates back from 2012, but it is also still true.](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DkalDMuXoAAcsvb.jpg?name=orig)
