My colleagues at TU Delft are seeking to hire a postdoc to work on Applied Planning and Scheduling under Uncertainty, with applications in modelling supply chain scenarios for offshore wind farm installation: careers.tudelft.nl/job/Delft-P

Interrupting my usual programming to say that I read my first ever graphic novel/memoir/anything! Thanks to @tenspeedpress for sending me This Beautiful Ridiculous City by Kay Sohini, which finally prompted me to engage with this genre.

As a former urban literary scholar this was a return to my urban literary roots, and just a beautiful representation of the city overall. Full disclosure that Kay and I were at Stony Brook University doing our Ph.D.s in different lit departments around the same time. We’ve worked together before (she invited me to present on an MLA panel on careers back when I was about a year into my new life in publishing).

Reading books by people you know (even tangentially) is always a unique experience because you’re seeing the world through the eyes of someone that you’ve met, engaged with. It’s just a really different experience than reading works by a stranger (which is the majority of my reading).

What is really stunning about this work is that it isn’t just a book, it’s a beautifully conceived object. The artwork and color palette are stunning. I immediately felt like I’ll definitely reread and return to this book to take in the visuals and the nuances of the story.

It’s also a book I could see leaving out on my coffee table, or some other flat surface that needs a little life. It’s so vibrant, and a book I could see myself just thumbing through casually to brighten my day.

It deals with serious life challenges, but I think the seriousness and introspection of the work is offset by the brightness and vibrancy of the artwork.

10/10 would recommend. (And believe it or not I read a TON and don’t recommend or post about a large percentage of what I read).

QOTD: have you read any graphic books?

What is disappearance? In short, it is a repressive tactic used by authoritarian states to terrorize the civilian population into submission.

While the term “the disappeared” emerges in the aftermath of authoritarianism in Guatemala (1966) and Operation Condor in South America (perhaps most famously General Pinochet and his reign of terror in Chilean, but also juntas across South America including in Argentina), it describes a tactic that has long been in use and continues to be used by authoritarian regimes across the world, so it’s a concept to be aware of and understand.

Disappearance is characterized by illegal abduction, secret detention centers, torture, death, and unofficial burial.


Disappearance was, in theory, a way to avoid responsibility. The state maintained plausible deniability while effectively terrorizing their citizens into submission. The message is clear, you could be next.

QOTD: Have you heard of disappearing?

Hi folks,

so that came out in the wrong order. 😜

I wanted to introduce myself first before posting our preprint!
I am a female scientist currently working as a postdoc at Kiel university.
I am fascinated by ion channels, and my work focuses on potassium channels of the K2P channel family. I'm especially interested in pharmacology, regulation, and heteromerization, and mostly doing Patch Clamp!

I finally did it: I went to the top of MBS like a proper tourist.

I spent so many good times at GBTB.

Especially at the beginning, when I was still staying at hotels in SG's Central area, I spent many a first date strolling through the gardens or around Marina Bay at night.

My colleague and I went flying his kite on Marina Barrage. When my parents visited, they posed for pics in front of MBS and we saw a drone show in the gardens.
My best friend and I went to the flower dome together, and to the GBTB Christmas Market.

The supergrove trees are a popular location for visiting geocachers to host their Singapore events, so I've experienced the Garden Rhapsody many times, also at special occasions like LNY.

One of the things I'm going to miss most is all the lush green here in SG. It's beautiful and always cheers me up. I'm sad every time a tree gets taken down by a thunderstorm. I had an amazing view of all that green from the top of MBS.

Picture of me, a young woman with blonde hair in a pink jumpsuit, leaning on a railing and smiling at the camera, next to the view from MBS. You can see Marina Bay, with a park and many high-rises in the background. Out on the sea there are many boats. Closer to the foreground, in the gardens, there are the buildings hosting the Flower Dome and the Cloud Forest. They are reminiscent of ribs or sea shells or leafs. Behind me, there's a tree, all the way on the 57th level of MBS.

Last week, I presented the work I did with prof. Kuldeep Meel and prof. Arunabha Sen at IJCAI 2023.

We showed the benefits of reducing a problem to a computationally harder problem (yes, you read that right!), by demonstrating how it allows us to solve much larger problem instances.

It was so much fun to finally share this work with so many fantastic researchers at IJCAI! Thank you to all organisers for making this conference possible. I'm also super grateful to the reviewers who gave us great feedback!

Please find our paper, slides, poster, a short video, and our open source tool, gismo, here: www.annalatour.nl/publication/2023-08-01-Solving-the-Identifying-Code-Set-Problem-with-Grouped-Independent-Support

A picture of a conference room with a decor that seems to have been selected by Louis XIV's personal interior decorator, on a day on which he wanted to leave work early to watch a duelling match. I am standing next to a big monitor, with an enormous name badge around my neck, in the middle of explaining something. The slide is the title slide of my presentation, and reads: Solving the Identifying Code Set Problem with Grouped Independent Support Anna L.D. Latour, Arunabha Sen and Kuldeep S. Meel School of Computing, National University of Singapore Computer Science and Engineering Faculty, Arizona State University IJCAI, 23 August 2023, Macau
Me, a young woman with long blonde hair wearing a pink blouse, standing in front of an academic poster, smilingly posing as if I am explaining it to someone. The poster is titled "Solving the Identifying Code Set Problem with Grouped Independent Support", and has a big pink block with white letters in the middle, which reads "by reducing to a computationally harder problem, we can exponentially decrease the encoding size, and solve much larger instances."

The best way to stop security researchers at a German university from analyzing your products is to try to set up an official collaboration with a contract. We're now half a year into negotiating contract details w/o any research done. 🦥 #postdoclife

Hi everyone,

My name in Anna, and I'm a research fellow in #ArtificialIntelligence. I'm mostly interested in Boolean satisfiability and counting.

I'm a nerd, a feminist and a traveller, not always in that order.

I'm an expat who misses her friends and family, and recently moved in with a dog and a cat.

In my spare time, I like #hiking, #geocaching, #knitting, #reading, #cooking and #baking.
