To make it easier esp. for junior folks (students, postdocs, jr faculty) to talk to me, I&#39;m trying a new thing: open office hours at conferences! Come find me at PLDI 2026, using the public calendar linked to the page below. Please feel free to reshare! https://cs.brown.edu/people/sk/Contact/Calendar/

@shriramk@mastodon.social I was invited to give a keynote at NDSS. I gave the first talk of the day. After that, I had a huddle around me, in the hallway, for the entire rest of the day. Lots of junior faculty asking for career advice. While exhausting, it's intensely rewarding to pay it forward. I like your calendar idea. See if you can get other folks to do the same, and make it a bigger effort, get the conference organizers to announce it, etc.

@shriramk@mastodon.social Inconsistently, but I and and a number of other chairs at IETF will do some sort of office hours during the conference week. (Even if the "hours" are "I'll be hanging out in the lounge...")
