SUMMARY:CM Seminar - "How Technology-Mediated Food Interactions Support Family Connection and Routine Reconstruction"
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Aswati Panicker \nDescription: “In this talk\, I draw on work in human-food interaction (HFI) to examine how food can serve as a rich interaction medium for connection and routine reconstruction in long-distance families. I highlight insights from three of my studies that explore this question across different technological forms. First\, I discuss how families navigate shifting meanings of “healthy eating” during life transitions\, and the tensions that arise when disclosing new goals and priorities in health-sharing or tracking tools. Second\, I show how family members expressed hesitations\, value conflicts\, and visions for cultural or playful moments when imagining embodied technology such as a social robot within their domestic spaces. Third\, through a mobile app probe for teaching food knowledge and recipes\, I uncover the subtleties of how family members seek to initiate\, learn\, guide\, or be guided through everyday food practices. Throughout\, I outline design implications and close by reflecting on how technology-mediated food interactions might extend to other contexts and routines beyond family life.” \nBio: Aswati Panicker is a postdoctoral scholar at the University of California\, Santa Cruz\, working with Prof. Christina Chung.

SUMMARY:Respond\, Don't React: Recognizing and Managing Emotional Triggers
DESCRIPTION:In a world of nonstop change and pressure\, even the most experienced professionals get triggered in ways that throw us off course—hurting performance and straining relationships. In this presentation by the Silicon Valley chapter of the NHRA\, we’ll explore what’s really happening when emotions take over\, why it matters\, and what we can do about it. Through real stories\, group discussion\, and practical tools\, you’ll learn how to spot your own triggers\, make space to respond instead of react\, and better support others in the process. These tools aren’t just for managing stress—they help build trust\, empathy\, and stronger teams. You’ll walk away with simple strategies you can use right away for tough conversations\, conflict\, or just when everything feels like a little too much – both personally and professionally. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES\n• Spot the signs—learn to recognize how your body and brain react when you’re emotionally triggered. \n• Get curious about cognitive blind spots—where might triggers be getting in the way of how we show up and lead? \n• Build our ability to pause\, regroup\, and respond instead of react. \n• Walk away with simple tools to better support yourself and create more space and trust for others\, too. \nAGENDA \n5:30 PM IN-PERSON NETWORKING (dinner included) \n6:00 PM VIRTUAL SESSION BEGINS \n6:05 PM LEGAL UPDATES \n6:15 PM PROGRAM \n7:15 PM Q&A \nABOUT THE SPEAKER: Jeff Jacobs\nJeff is a recognized leadership development and organizational effectiveness executive who has facilitated and consulted on 500+ engagements over the past 10 years as an employee of top-tier companies like Adobe and Intuit.
