Proud and excited to share that today I've been appointed as a full professor! 🎉 This is far from a solo achievement. I owe a huge thank you to many people and especially to @AnetteMFrank and #ManfredPinkal, who provided constant support and encouragement along this long way. 🙏

@gdm3000 @barbara_plank Oh, now I get it. Sneaky!

[Michael Roth @microth]

For anyone interested, here is the program of the CoMeDi workshop at COLING: https://t.co/mGJITSL7wf (assuming that @barbara_plank will get a speaker permit 😉)

[Michael Roth @microth]

TIL: Invited speakers for workshops in the UAE need a speaker permit. If this requirement is not fulfilled, the whole workshop will be shut down. It's a very liberal host country, as long as you comply with their rules.

[Michael Roth @microth]

@gdm3000 @barbara_plank The workshop is next week. Are you suggesting that we move it to a different date and location? ;)

[Michael Roth @microth]

@barbara_plank Thanks a lot to all authors, reviewers and other committee members for your help in putting this event together! 😊
