Graduation season is still upon us, Huskies! This week, the sun was shining, the birds were flying – and grads snapped photos, posing with the scenic nature in Boston. From tulips to cherry blossoms, the campus burst into a kaleidoscope of colors. Plus, researchers were hard at work in the lab, studying how humans interact with automated systems.
