6/27/24- Ruby
Last night was pretty fun because we went swimming like I thought we would, but only me and Rodney ended up going. After that, I just did work and went to bed.
This morning was a lot of fun! We had a lecture with Stephen about research in HCI and after he was our luncheon lecture speaker! In the first lecture, he talked about research methods in HCI, which was very similar to the research methods I have learned for psychology. Afterwards, he told us about his personal history, current research projects, and his time in Namibia. It was really interesting hearing about how he got where he is today and he used such a good storyteller. The overall message for his presentation was that you are not in complete control of your life, but you can work to prepare yourself for opportunities that may come in the future. Some of the projects he talked about seemed really cool and was really cool for me to see because they all combined cognition with technology.
