👋 Could you be one of our 2026 ICCS interns? We’re looking for 5 interns to join us this summer. 3 will work on projects under the supervision of ICCS postdoctoral researchers; 2 will work on projects in collaboration between ICCS + @clr-cambridge.bsky.social Info: iccs.cam.ac.uk/opportunitie...
Part 1 covers the 2nd Programming for the Planet conference (@propl.dev) organised by @kcsrk.info @dorchard.bsky.social and me. There were talks, demos and discussions about what we can do as computer scientists to avert the climate and biodiversity crises anil.recoil.org/notes/icfp25... 🌍

@f.luid.org has self explanatory, transparent text as part of its program execution to help justify claims in prose with supporting data #icfpsplash25
Roly Perera telling us about @f.luid.org which tracks data provenance and enriches web outputs with this richer context #icfpsplash25
The 2nd PROPL is today, and will be livestreaming from www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIRJ... in an hour! Full program here conf.researchr.org/home/icfp-sp... and an overview of the program at dl.acm.org/action/showF...
