- It is great to have a full house for our first SciComp seminar given by Alessio Spurio Mancini @durham-comp-sci.bsky.social
- Congrats to our whole @shareing.bsky.social team @durham-comp-sci.bsky.social and @arc-durhamuni.bsky.social but notably to Eva for grabbing the poster award at the conference. [contains quote post or other embedded content]
- Rollercoaster for #SC26 for me: I had a lot of fun chairing the applications paper track, then I got my favourite workshop paper rejected, and now my @shareing.bsky.social team got a BoF talk and a poster through. Let's continue with the highs! See you all in Chicago.

- Another great @durham-comp-sci.bsky.social talk by Chung on his UQ work and load balancing at #PPAM2026
