Here's an update on some of CATCS's recent activities, along with links to useful resources maintained at TheoryMatters:
1. David Woodruff compiled a list of major awards that are relevant to the
theoretical computer science community. Included is a brief
description of each, a link to the nomination instructions, and
examples of researchers from TCS and related fields that won the award
in the past. See https://thmatters.wordpress.com/tcs-awards-list/.
2. Shuchi Chawla is leading an effort to improve the quality of TCS
entries on Wikipedia. She has put together an advice document for
researchers who want to help and a spreadsheet where you can contribute
suggestions for entries to be created or improved. See
https://thmatters.wordpress.com/2017/05/02/tcs-wikipedia-project/.
3. Ryan O'Donnell collected advice on writing papers for general
scientific venues like Science, Nature, and PNAS, from a number of TCS
researchers who have successfully published in these venues in the
past. See
https://thmatters.files.wordpress.com/2017/05/nature-science-pnas-advice.pdf.
4. An oldie but a goodie: examples of successful TCS NSF Career proposals.
See https://thmatters.wordpress.com/funding-opportunities-and-tips/career-examples-proposalscomments/
See https://thmatters.wordpress.com/ and the affiated sites https://cstheory-jobs.org/ and https://cstheory-events.org/ for still more resources.
Don't forget that this year's TheoryFest is also the 50th anniversary of STOC! (Happening June 25-29, in Los Angeles.) See http://acm-stoc.org/stoc2018/ for details.
Finally, I always welcome your suggestions for future CATCS projects.
