Dr. Starbird will be speaking about the evolution of human-computer interaction, and why public investment in research and diverse voices in computing and informatics are more essential than ever, especially at a time when those investments are under threat.

And you won’t just leave inspired — Seattle’s Stand Up for Science team will be on hand with easy, actionable ways to contact your representatives and stand up for science. See you there!
