We would like to call special attention to the new column on Logic in Education, edited by Thomas Zeume (Ruhr University Bochum), the new chair of the SIGLOG Education Committee. Happy reading, everyone!

Today in #ComputingHistory, we celebrate #AdaLovelaceDay, an international celebration of women in STEM. Ada Lovelace Day was established in 2009 to honor her legacy and highlight the many contributions of women in STEM. It strives to inspire future generations to pursue careers in these fields. In 1843, Ada Lovelace published what is widely regarded as the first computer program. Lovelace recognized that a machine could follow instructions to solve complex problems and predicted that computers would do far more than calculations. Her legacy continues to inspire. #OTD buff.ly/V8tN8M5

Given the foundational contributions of these papers, and astonishingly quick adoption of theoretical contributions by the entire relational and graph database industry behind SQL and GQL standards, these papers highly deserve to be recognized by the Alonzo Church Award!

A few important deadlines to keep in mind!

To date, CBPV remains a unifying starting point in the study of computational and logical phenomena, including: effects, polarisation, term normalisation, type-isomorphisms, and program transformations.

In addition to its scientific contribution, the nominated monograph is a unique access-point into the culmination of decades of logic and programming language semantics. Very well deserved, congratulations, Paul!
