I hope this is a good step towards "clarity", an essential goal in science.

This is a joint work with the fantastic team: Aaron Bernstein, Joakim Blikstad, Jason Li, and Ta-Wei Tu.

Joakim and Ta-wei coded up the algorithm.

And if you're faculty: I beg you, for the sake of everyone else in the world, strongly consider creating your own public webpages for your course instead of having everything locked up in Canvas.

Here are FIVE surprising ways federal data make your life better, with our friends at @essentialdata.us:

1. We get up to $53B/yr free pest control because we don't accidentally build bridges through bat habitats

2. We know where to get those sweet, sweet space minerals

A university and an academic publisher walk into a bar.

The publisher orders a pint, sells it back to the university, asks the barman to pay the bill.

I wrote an op-ed on the world-class STEM research ecosystem in the United States, and how this ecosystem is now under attack on multiple fronts by the current administration: newsletter.ofthebrave.org/p/im-an-awar...
I’m an award-winning mathematician. Trump just cut my funding.
The “Mozart of Math” tried to stay out of politics. Then it came for his research.

NEW: NSF will be kicked out of their building. Announcement will be made tomorrow by HUD Sec. and Governor of VA. HUD will take over the NSF building over the next two years.

I am starting at NYU this Fall! Although it is inconveniently located, if you find yourself in New York, come say hi. Psyched to be part of such a stacked theory group!!
It's a thrill to announce names of the amazing set of theory people joining NYU CS+CSE this year: @aineshbakshi.bsky.social, Allen Liu, @fermima.bsky.social, Sanjeev Khanna, Tony Metger, and Juan Perdomo.

This is great. I'm a systems person, but I had a grant through AitF a while back (with Michael Mitzenmacher) that produced some really solid results that I remain very proud of. It was great to have a program that was friendly to cross-area research.
Tracy Kimbrel, former National Science Foundation program director extraordinaire, will receive the 2025 ACM SIGACT Distinguished Service Award. He spearheaded programs such as TRIPODS (foundations of data science) and AitF (Algorithms in the Field).

In 1965, Paula Harris would find algorithmic improvements that made LP solving 50% less expensive. She was a senior mathematician in the computing group at British Petroleum

Today, 60 years later, her former colleagues still speak in awe of her intelligence
