You are warmly invited to the next School Seminar:

Speaker: Ian Gent

Title: How Not To Do It

Abstract: Empirical methods are a vital part of a researcher’s toolbox. Which means that the more senior a researcher is, the more tools they have dropped on their feet!  I will share real mistakes which I or my colleagues made in analysing SAT and CP algorithms, and which we are prepared to own up to! Hopefully, you can learn from our mistakes instead of being doomed to repeat them.  As an old academic I’ll also take the chance to offer some advice on being an academic. Like most advice given by old people this advice is valued principally by the person giving it and may be worthless to anyone else.
