[DMANET] Bulletin of the EATCS online

Dear TCS community,

the last EATCS Bulletin of this year is now available:
https://eatcs.org/images/bulletin/beatcs138.pdf

It includes an interview with Monika Henzinger and a viewpoint column by
Sophie Huiberts who examines how awards' recipients are selected in
our communities and how this relates to the status of women in our field.

Omer Reingold, in the theory blogs column, shares his thoughts on how to
make a research environment supportive for young researchers, and talks
about his "research life stories" project and experiences with starting
several blogs.

In the logic column, an elegant proof is presented, accessible to the
non-experts, about a fundamental result related to the question whether
there is a logic that captures PTIME. We further have two
interesting surveys in the algorithms and the complexity column (related to
Taylor's theorem, and about derandomizing space-bounded computation,
respectively), an overview of current challenges and open questions in the
area of robust clock synchronization (in the distributed computing column),
and an assessment of interactive online learning systems (in
the educational column).

I hope you enjoy the new Bulletin and I wish everyone a nice remainder of
the year!

Stefan
