Meeting up with my former colleague and good friend Giri at #SAP this morning. We had a good discussion. It is refreshing to look at things nowadays from a more distanced, albeit long-term perspective.

Excellent start to #HLF25 's academic program with a "spark session" with 5 short presentations on inspiring topics. Highly recommend to watch some of them. I liked a lot Sanjeev Arora's: Will There Be a Superhuman AI Mathematician?

Yesterday, Klaus, Matthias, Stefan and I celebrated our farewell from SAP with a huge crowd of dear colleagues. Felix (in the middle) conducted a short talking round with the 4 of us. Lots of wonderful memories. Thx again.

Earlier today, Klaus and I stopped at the Hirschgrundhütte - on our climb up to Heidelberg's Königstuhl - to commemorate Matthias. He used to join us and liked to stop here for a break.

Final lecture done for this term 😅 My final slide is always 3 pieces of general career advice (as I'm mostly teaching final year students). What pointers would you provide?
