At its best, hazy IPA is reasonably pleasant, sometimes even enjoyable. At anything less than its best, the experience drops quickly. While beer drinking is a subjective experience, feels like many hazy brewers are engaged in an extended gag no one has bothered to call them on.

Our department mourns the loss of its founder, Dr. Frederick P. Brooks, Jr., a pioneer in computer science and recipient of the A.M. Turing Award, National Medal of Technology & numerous others. He was kind, humble & a friend and mentor to all. go.unc.edu/o2QKd

Our world-class faculty are the heart of our university. Sadly, we have lost two in the last day: Fred Brooks, who founded our computer science program, and Jo Anne Earp, former chair of Health Behavior at @UNCPublicHealth. My thoughts and prayers are with their families.

Most of @OBOFoundry is dependent on OWL reasoning, to automate the construction of hierarchies, to check ontologies for coherency. Every day Elk, HermiT, etc are invoked hundreds of times as github actions checking PRs on our many ontologies slideshare.net/cmungall/expe…
