Want to know what life at Oxford could look like for you? If so, we would like to invite you to our upcoming Open Days on the 1 and 2 of July 2026. Expect: a talk on our undergraduate courses and the admissions process, sample lectures, and a demonstration interview.

A pale blue graphic with a rip at the top that looks makes the post look like a scrap book entry. Down the left side there are connected dots and lines that looks like a computer board, one line points to the text ‘Want to know what life at Oxford could look like for you?’. Beneath this there is text reading ‘Join us on 1 and 2 July 2026 for our Open Days’. At the bottom there is a cut out photo of a group of young Student Ambassadors smiling at the camera.

A green-grey graphic with a faded picture of a beige brick building in the background and a white flower in the foreground. Over the image there is text reading ‘What will it involve? Talk on our undergraduate courses & the admissions process. Demonstration interview. Chance to chat to our Student Ambassadors and tutors. Sample lectures.’

I remember reading that someone tried to defang the personal comments by getting an LLM to read the feedback and pull out only the actionable items, without having to read them themself. I have taken this one step further by not looking at the comments at all.

Very interesting (short) paper by Graham Cormode (@grahamrc.bsky.social), "Applications of Sketching and Pathways to Impact", using sketching algos as case study to see how to go from theory to—impactful—practice, and what to keep in mind in the process. (Small) sample below doi.org/10.1145/3584...

Inflict ideas on the next generation. The computer science cur-
riculum is far more dynamic than, say, the mathematics curriculum,
and it is still feasible to include research ideas in undergraduate
classes. There may not be room to go in-depth on cutting edge
ideas, but including a few results from the current century may
help to keep students engaged. Sketches are a good exemplar for
this, since the ideas can fit well into an algorithms or database class,
and illustrate some of the underlying principles and concepts. A
long-term benefit of this approach is that some students may just
remember these ideas after graduation, and be motivated to make
use of them in whatever career they choose to go in to.
Write accessible notes, and put them where people can read
them. While we may think of peer-reviewed academic publications
as the medium for sharing research ideas, these are unfortunately
not the place where practitioners will find them. You can have
more reach by writing accessible notes addressing the software
engineering community. For sketches, we made web pages and
wrote articles in practitioner-focused journals. Today, you should
consider making more use of platforms like medium and substack,
and promoting posts via social media.
