I signed and encourage colleagues to do the same. Venue selection is fraught. Inevitably attendees will encounter visa issues, distance, expense, local politics, and other challenges. This venue, however, is simply unsafe for LGBTQ+ researchers, and the leadership's defensiveness is unacceptable.

I had two NSF grants terminated last week, for a total of just under $1M. The largest one had just started and its goal was to provide users with more context and information on the content that they see on social media.

Great post from the nervous systems guys! Two small additional notes: - Anisotropic CVD's beside being nice, are also quite interesting from a structural point of view vcg.isti.cnr.it/publication/... - to actually generate nicer decompositions it is useful to add a further shape optimization step

As a first post a happy note that the latest release of RealityCapture includes a reimplementation of our beloved Texture Defragmentation algorithm! vcg.isti.cnr.it/publication/... Is always gratifying to see that your solutions are actually useful and get adopted by industry in a short time...
