I really enjoyed @Felienne's narrative about narratives about Computer Science yesterday. She applied some of the ideas presented in the Glaciers, Gender and Science paper (journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/1) to her experiences in the Computer Science / Programming Languages communities. She's also starting a reading club to brainstorm the meaning (and the name?) of the field of "Computer Science".

Felienne presents a slide in which a cartoon version of herself says "'Programming language' is a social construct", and presents a timeline where the 1960s are labelled with two quotes: "Programming requires patience and eye for detail ..." and "Women are naturals at computer programming".
Felienne presents her title slide: A narrative about narratives about Computer Science. She drew cute cartoons of her and her collaborator.
Felienne presents a slide with a cartoon picture of herself, with a thought bubble that visualises the bias that "hard = value" and "easy != value" through the metaphor of the fact that we know more about remote glaciers high up in mountains than about glaciers that are right next to where people live.

Yesterday at ICT.OPEN I also attended a panel discussion on "Bridging the Gap between Research and Industry through Application-Oriented AI Innovations"

It was mostly academics in the room, but I had an interesting chat with Dr. Floor Campfens and my colleague Dr. Anna Lukina afterwards, where we talked about the research done at RIWO, and of course our research at TU Delft.

Screenshot of an ongoing poll on the question "Academic focus on AI research and innovation is out of touch with the real-world problems faced by industry and public sector organisations." The votes are as follows: 1. "Total Nonsense - academia is leading where it matters": 0 votes 2. "Mostly Untrue - there are real efforts to stay relevant": 6 votes 3. "Meh - hit or miss depending on the case": 25 votes 4. "Pretty accurate - ivory towers don't solve real problems": 5 votes 5. "Absolutely - academics are busy chasing citations, not impact": 1 votes
