Delighted to receive an ACM SIGSOFT Distinguished Award for this work! Proud of @shrey_twr and the REU students visiting the PASTA lab :-)

This year our Africa Initiative @ICSEconf sponsored by @sigsoft brought 5 researchers from African countries, including Central Africa Republic, Guinea, Niger, and Mali! Their flights are looong but they all made it! 🥳Please join me to welcome them to our community and come say hi!🤗

Excited to join the panel discussing this important topic! 🥰 I'm especially looking forward to sharing our lessons learned on the new and shiny "Africa Initiative" ✨💕sponsored by @sigsoft, aiming to bring researchers from #Africa to our beloved SE community! 🌍 Last year's experience is documented in this blog 👇 It's extremely challenging, but nothing stops us from doing it again this year! 💪 5 Visa rejections already (sad 😢), but we're working around the clock to adapt to the changes, and let's see how many #African researchers we can bring this time! Stay tuned and we'll report the final results at the panel 😉 From Zero to One: Lessons Learned on Bringing African Students to International Conferences: yixue-zhao.medium.com/from-zero-to-o…
