Some actionable unsolicited advice for first-year PhD students:

Is it harder to get long or short papers into IMC? Anecdotal knowledge for long, now @MatthewLuckie shared data: it is harder to get short papers accepted to IMC than long papers. Recently, the number of short paper submission is thus declining / long increasing. @ACM_IMC2021
My student Adithya Abraham Philip is presenting *now* at IMC! Philip's work looks at how congestion control algorithms (CCAs) behave at the scale of the core of the Internet.

Hey Tweeps: one of my PhD students had emergency surgery Monday to remove a large brain tumor. Another of my students organized a GFM to help support him, his wife, and their baby as he recovers. If you're willing and able, every little bit helps: https://t.co/2rkuw30VLD
Super thankful for the award and all my collaborators on this paper. For those attending @sosp2021, come see our presentation and ask me questions during the flash session at tomorrow!
