When COVID-19 led to mandatory working from home, significant blind spots in supporting the sociality of working life-in the moment and over time-were revealed in enterprise video meetings, and these were a key factor in reports about videoconferencing fatigue.

Background: The authors are familiar with the topic and subject matter. One was a friend of Senders for over 50 years.
Objective: To provide an evaluative and personal overview of the life and contributions of Professor John Senders and to introduce this Special Issue dedicated to his memory.
Background: John Senders made many profound contributions to HF/E. These various topics are exemplified by the range of papers which compose the Special Issue.
Objectives: To examine the feasibility, reliability, granularity, and convergent validity of a video-based pairwise comparison technique that uses algorithmic support to enable automated rating of motor dysfunction in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS).
Design: Feasibility and larger cross-sectional cohort study.
Setting: The outpatient clinic of 2 specialist university medical centers.
Clinical ordinal rating scales of movements, e.g., the Expanded Disability Status Scale, have poor intra- and interrater reliability, are insensitive to subtle differences and result in coarse-grained ratings compared to relative comparative rating methods.
