#interaction 18

To round out our unit on ethics, we're watching talks from three different Interaction conferences: 18, 19, & 21. They cover disability stigmas, dark patterns, sustainability, and cognitive bias. Then we let Mike Monteiro send us off with a kick in the pants. Please, sir, may I have another?
