Graphic with a dark blue background displaying the text: ‘PhD Studentship: Quantum-Safe Security for 6G Networks.’ Below, smaller text reads: ‘Applications close 17 April.’ On the right side is a simple white line illustration of a network or molecule-style diagram made of circles connected by lines. The Newcastle University logo appears in the bottom right corner.

Applications are open for a fully-funded PhD #studentship in quantum-safe security from September 2026.

It is suited to applicants with a background in #cryptography, with programming experience and an interest in security and next‑gen networks.

#BQIT opening day!

I found this book again that I read in preparation for the undergrad quantum computing course I took at Newcastle University two years ago. Highly recommend for anyone interested in quantum but doesn’t know where to start.

Gotta up your impression rate somehow George!

This is just my two cents and I think there will always be arguments for both sides and I have almost certainly missed some important points. But in short, I think that the solution is providing education/support..

the current climate, we should be focused on maintaining as much of that as possible to make validation of these contributions easier.

I also think that the academic institutions authors are affiliated with should be responsible for supporting them during the writing/submission process with..

I would also say that while it is possible for people to present their contributions in other formats
such as posters or presentations, it is much harder for *anyone* to condense information down into short form pieces without losing important context and I think that in..

Talking from a computer science perspective, I would agree that academic institutions do prioritise neurotypical people but not the discipline as a whole. Most institutions that organise these conferences do provide ways for the modification and verification of paper structure that usually require..

If I wanna help to make this place more like what Twitter was, I should probably post at least once, right?
