I'm updating my AI poster to fill out the last few years (2022-2025). I have an idea of how it will go, but I thought it would be a good idea to get a wide range of input to make sure I cover as much as possible. Please comment (preferably with a source link) something you think is worth adding. 🥳

Delighted to be talking about mathematical phenomenology next week on zoom. It will be a fairly high level overview, and I'll be sandwiched between a whole bunch of other exciting talks on the same topic. Thanks for organizing @johanneskleiner.bsky.social !
Another gem of next week's workshop, by @jyoshimi.bsky.social. Can't wait for this talk! 🤗

I know BlueSky has problems with humour so just to be clear: I, like everyone else, am aware that postdocs aren't real. I'm not spreading misinformation when I refer to them as if they exist, they're jokes and everyone knows that. Chill, ok?
