Andy Pitts, speaking to the crowd gathered to recognise his retirement and celebrate his career #Pittsposium

I'm enjoying the #Pittsposium in #Cambridge , a workshop in honour of my PhD supervisor Andy Pitts. Loved this talk by Larry Paulson, who advocated for mathematicians to use proof assistance with liberal use of sorry / admitted for parts of proofs they are confident in to avoid burning time on small details, for example the many lines of code required when verifying one sentence proofs in a standard textbook. #ITP

At the #Pittsposium, to honor Andy Pitts and his amazing scientific life so far!

A funeral and a hospitalisation in the family (home now, thank goodness) this week have played havoc with my plans to write my slides before I take my trip to Cambridge for the #Pittsposium https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/events/pittsposium/ ... sigh. What a week.
