The call for Newton International Fellowships is open, and closes on 18th March: royalsociety.org/grants/newt…
Good scheme; worth checking out! I like the Royal Society experience and its historic role in science.

In the last few months I've been trying to draw a long line connecting all the work on modal logic - from Kripke semantics to type theory. Today I'm officially launching this programme by giving a talk at MFPS XV at 4pm. Link: youtube.com/watch?v=DWOZfqco…

Thrilled to be at @acm_ccs, presenting our poster! 🎉

I'm actively exploring opportunities in Software/Web Security on the academic job market. Eager to connect with fellow researchers and explore potential #postdoc/#assistant_professor positions! :)
Got news: I've been awarded the Newton International Fellowship by the Royal Society to study compositionality in normalization algorithms at the University of Edinburgh with @reifyreflect

Last Friday, we celebrated Minh passing his PhD viva with a cocktail class. 🎉 Congratulations Minh! – at Bristol, England

ESOP's done well here:
"For the sake of flexibility, submitted research papers may be formatted in Springer’s LNCS, ACM’s PACMPL, or ACM’s TOPLAS format"
etaps.org/2024/conferences/e…
I wish as academics we could focus on producing evidence and not waste time reformatting. I am glad this has now been quantified. But I would like to think these may reflect a lower bound on the true cost as there is an extensive margin as well.
I have a whole trail of perfectly fine and IMO important papers that I just cant bother to reformat to submit. It should not be that way. Its all just data, code and well, a bit of thinking.

ALT A collage summarizing the best moments of the conference. There are 7 photos, one in the middle, with 6 surrounding. In the centre is a picture of Sam, Minh, Kazutaka and friend in front of the Seattle Space Needle. Then going round the outer pictures we have (starting at the top): Minh and Sam at the conference, standing in front of the logo; Sam posing for pictures before her Embedding by Unembedding talk, Minh mid-talk; Sam posing with her Embedding by Unembedding title slide; Harry and Sam answering questions for the double-act talk; Minh posing in front of his slides.

Congratulations to Ohad Krammer, @reifyreflect and Nicolas Oury for their Most Influential Paper of ICFP2013 award presented at #ICFP2023 for their Handlers in Action paper which inspired and kicked off a lot of work on effects by many people. Sam made a heartfelt speech about how kind and supportive the programming languages research community is, with a specific reference to a personal tragedy that occurred while he was in Boston for the 2013 ICFP. I concur, having experienced several research communities I know that not all of them are pleasant places to be, but through decades of PL I have met colleagues that have become friends, and enjoyed a community that has become a home. [I know it is not perfect. But it is still pretty bloody good.]

16 years ago, I created @music and have been running it ever since. Just now, Twitter / X just ripped it away.
Super pissed
