Putting the theory back in the innovations

For its third edition, the Innovations in Computer Science conference becomes Innovations in Theoretical Computer Science, gains ACM sponsorship, and moves from Beijing to Boston. Your submissions are due by August 7.

Four women, including one of our own, talk to Gina Kolata about their lives. Tal Rabin gives the impression of being the happiest of the four.

So far we are on track, and I am very excited to welcome our new colleague Ryan Williams.
