I got an email yesterday afternoon that my NSF SPRF Postdoctoral Fellowship was terminated. My grant focused on testing interventions to address online misinformation and I was 8 months into a two year appointment.

I was just told that I have to remove “climate” from the title of an ongoing grant if I want to keep it. And publications from that grant cannot include “climate” and other forbidden words. I can’t believe I’m writing this from the United States of America. #AcademicSky

Just saying, if it’s set in Noun Town and I have to translate words to disarm bombs, I’m preordering the collector’s deluxe edition

As this platform grows, I thought I'd share a starter pack of #XR + #HCI researchers I've come across! This includes individuals exploring augmented reality, virtual reality, mixed reality, and related areas. Let me know if you would like to be added or have any recommendations! #VR #AR #MR

A brief intro to start populating my feed here. I'm Nels, a PhD candidate at UCL. I study collaboration in mixed reality and am currently particularly fascinated by the meaning and representation of spaces. I'm excited to see the #HCI community grow on this upcoming platform! More info: nels.dev
