    I'm reaching out from the Inquisitive Robotics Lab at Yale, led by Professor Tesca Fitzgerald. We're conducting a user study on a Human-Robot Interaction and believe it could interest your students in your class. Attached is the study poster for your review.

    Could you help us spread the word to the students in your class who might find this study relevant? Their participation would greatly contribute to our research.

    Thank you for considering this request.

    Best regards,
