I am urging the entire TCS community to attend the TCS for All inspiration talk to be given by Luca Trevisan to honor his contributions and to be there for him and his family at this very difficult time. I will be sharing the registration link shortly. Registration will be free.

Bill is writing an open problems column to honor Luca Trevisan and wants your contributions. blog.computationalcomplexity.org/2024/06/solici…

Ale and Eylon did a podcast about the book (snargsbook.org)! Enjoy!
