#introduction Hello folks, I'm a perpetually-sleepy #uxresearcher currently working with #rstats and studying #datascience. If I'm not working I'm either sleeping or decorating houses in #lotro. I'm very interested in #nlp and #interactivefiction and hope to do stuff related to these topics in the future.

Hi, nice to see you here!
I'm a UI designer and I work in data science for chemistry; what you do looks very interesting!
@rastinza Heya! I'm more like a corporate slave masquerading as an academic, but sometimes it gets interesting. XD
@rivengodwind
Oh, damn!
Then maybe it's better what I do: UI freelance so I'm not anyone's slave and research in the free time
I'm trying to start getting paid for conducting the research however...
What's UX research about?
@rastinza Basically it's all about studying people as they interact with environments, goods, and/or services to fulfill their needs, with the ultimate objective of optimizing their experiences. UX actually means "user experience". You would definitely find this field fascinating since you design UI.
@rivengodwind
This looks great, do you have any article to advise?
Both on findings and methodologies.
@rastinza Hm, if I'm to suggest only one online resource, it should be the folks from MeasuringU: https://measuringu.com/blogs/. Once you've browsed this, it opens up a lot.
@rivengodwind
Thank you! I'll read through it in the next days
