I recently attended the Quirks event in London and it felt great to be back in action in-person! If you are anything like me, all of the virtual events during COVID, no matter who was speaking, never really hit right.

You could feel (and see) the excitement and eagerness in everyone to connect and just be together in person again. It was great seeing all of the familiar faces, new faces, and all of the new MR tech companies breaking into our cool industry.

Beyond just getting to see each other again, you could feel the energy coming through in all of the presentations. While it was really interesting to get to exchange thoughts on how the industry has changed due to the pandemic, we were even more excited to get back to talking about where the business is headed in the long run.

As for 10K Humans, we’re cooking up a new, multi-tier recruitment offering, based on our evolving client needs. It’ll give us the structure to take our custom tailoring to the next level. Watch this space.

Mega props to the Quirks team for killing it and also to Tara and the Research Club team for putting on the official after-party. I’m looking forward to seeing everyone at TMRE in Nashville in a couple of weeks - let’s do the damn thang! In-person!! Woot!

P.S. Anyone else hoping for dog-friendly industry conferences in 2022?! My dogs were super bummed that they couldn’t attend. They miss people too!

Projects:
— Partnering with scholars across the academic landscape, we’re efforting to humanize the transgender population by understanding how they score on normal variables of personality and gender-stereotyped behavior. This large-scale quantitative project focuses on and engages with the transgender community as people, rather than as a clinical, pathologized population. Uniting academics from Loyola Marymount University, Northeastern University, and University of Rhode Island, this work aims to add to the incomplete body of scholarship on transgender people.
— Working alongside Lindz Amer and Queer Kid Stuff, we’ve conducted a multi-part brand awareness study to establish awareness of the brand and Amer’s new book Rainbow Parenting. In over twenty in-depth interviews and a rigorous quantitative survey phase, we’ve uncovered valuable insights into opportunities for customer engagement and opportunities to bolster customer financial support.
— Supporting HoMie, an Australian-based charity tackling youth homelessness, by testing innovative software from Research Goat. By conducting in-depth interviews via a variety of methods, we’ll unearth crucial insights about the customer experience at HoMie, and follow up with a large-scale quantitative survey to understand the charity’s reach.
— Assisting Hands on Tokyo as they endeavor to address disability rights and environmental issues in Japan. In response to one of Hands on Tokyo’s inspiring live events, we delivered a video reel and additional content, both featuring enhanced accessibility for Japanese and English speakers.
