Brynn Evans’s Summary

I'm a third year PhD student in Cognitive Science at UC San Diego, currently studying social search---or how social interactions can augment search on the web. For example, can social interactions can provide cognitive benefits beyond merely social or informational benefits, by helping us think through questions or reformulate our problems?
