- Great poster session at #SIAMPP26. @shareing.bsky.social was there and our eCSE project (a collab between @durham-comp-sci.bsky.social and @epcc.bsky.social ) as well as two further posters around Peano and the continuation of our PAX-HPC ExCALIBUR work.
- Great talk by @durham-comp-sci.bsky.social PhD student Pawel Radtke on his PhD research in the big AudiMax in Berlin at #SIAMPP26
- Meeting with other TOMS (associate) editors at #SIAMPP26. It is always good to meet the people behind a journal portal.
- My #SIAMPP26 quote of the day: "It's the wrong name, but it's my code so I can call it whatever I want".
