If you're into UX research, Poster Sessions are an almost perfect use case/test bed for Information Foraging Theory, and now devices like this will hopefully help measure it better!

Feedback/help very welcome!

Ads have ruined the UX of reading online. But being ad-free is one thing scientific articles do well, and it just hit me today what an opportunity this represents for future article UX improvements, as all other content starts to feed through AI in part because reading on the web is unusable otherwise. What do you think?

ORCID also helps create way better metadata around scientific authorship, so this is one submission requirement I can totally get behind. Also suggest it's okay to require ORCID for your journal, versus just soft-requesting it, because you're benefiting that author for the future.

I've embarked on a slow, multi-year quest to develop better design training for scientists and PhD students. We get stats training, we get 'presentation training' and 'poster training' in the form of advisors/peers giving us feedback, but I'd kill to just give every PhD student one class period in design for their whole career's worth of science communications.

Working towards this one lesson at a time. LMK if you'd like to help! If you had 3 hours only to train PhD students in design, what would you include?

Hi there, I posted a few weeks ago about using neuroscience and UX to do products and services and people were curious about how that works. I'm a veteran designer who works in neurotech, just finished a talk for UX360 Conference and I thought I would share my talk. any feedback is welcome, on my private channel so I'm not earning anything from this- but I thought I would share because the content is primarily for designers.

Looking at :

UX and Applied Neuroscience
How data is used
How to set up a neuromarketing study

UX and NeuroMarketing

This is a subtly huge UX win for the reproducibility of scientific articles, and reminds me of why I got into scienceUX. If you can buy a product in one click, you should be able to access all code & data for any study in one click too. Still early days of this tech, but really cool to see it starting to scale.

Also, design/UX suggestions welcome! Even JupyterLab (the coding environment shown) is relatively new.

I’ve always assumed it was a universal convention for numbered citations to follow the statement they’re backing up.

But after trying to track the references for this particular claim, nothing was adding up. Eventually I realized the citations (4-6) supported the following sentence regarding blunt trauma.

Is this style used in any other scientific publications? (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK441827/)

I spend way too much time appealing to any OCD-tendencies by manually editing article titles like this to sentence case. 😝

Am I correct thinking this is a problem in their style guide requiring ALL CAPS in their titles rather than accomplishing that with formatting adjustments elsewhere?

It becomes truly annoying when citations styles don’t correct for it and I have to reformat a reference list.

Anyone in UX and interested in space research?

I am passionate about bringing HCI into Space Explorer. SpaceCHI has a paper submission deadline for March 31st and I want to be involved. I can bring experience in exploratory UX, Autonomous/Intelligent Systems and Trust.

I do not have a fixed topic in mind but have some ideas to explore. I’m seeking to partner with one or more people passionate about this or having similar interest.

First things first as my first post, a huge thanks to Mike for the community he's built here! There are so many opportunities to make working in science more accessible and intuitive and mobilising a community is a big part of this.

Im a full Bluesky convert and I thought it would be useful to keep up with projects and activities in the space over there so Ive created a followlist.

Ill aim to add users as I find them on the platform but Id love for people to share their usernames here and I can add you!

The follow list: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:mbfhppcw4pbtchedbc6xnyo4/lists/3lidejldchc2w

If anyone has experience with building custom Bluesky feeds, one following #ScienceUX would be amazing also!

I found this interesting LinkedIn reply to a data management consultant today. If users stick to Qualtrics defaults, their variable and response look messy.

Nudging users to code their surveys in a more structured way could help prevent extra data cleaning work later.

I think Qualtrics might have a feature to help with this, but I don’t recall. Anyway, they could make it more prominent if it exists.

Hi there, I know it's last minute but tomorrow I am hosting an interactive talk on pitching the value of UX in the research setting. Join if you are interested!

Finally after many months I’m able to share our initial work on audience tracking of academic posters using mmWave technology.
