My university has a fund for post-docs coming from abroad!
If you are interested in working with me & our group on something related to programming systems and languages, from PL, HCI or historical & philosophical perspectives, get in touch (ideally in a few days...)

The @undonecs.org programme has 27 (!!) talks asking some of the most fundamental questions about computer science.
The early registration deadline is February 16th, so sign up soon: www.undonecs.org/2026/program...
(Also, it costs between 10x and ∞x less than your regular ACM CS conference.)
👩💻 Dnes slavíme Mezinárodní den žen a dívek ve vědě. Na Matfyzu potkáváme každý den inspirativní vědkyně a studentky, které posouvají hranice technologií. 🚀
Děkujeme všem našim kolegyním a studentkám za jejich práci, preciznost a nadšení. Jste inspirací pro budoucí generace informatiček! 💙
We created an exhibition to go along with my 𝐂𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 book! tomasp.net/cultures/exh...
It tells the story of how programming concepts methodologies emerge amidst clashes and collaborations between cultures.
🖼If you want to display this at your university or conference, let me know!
