I guess it’s official: as of today I am a professor at the Institute for Mathematics and Statistics at the Univesity of São Paulo (USP)!

This is what I would’ve written last semester, when I started my new job. But as many can imagine, moving to another continent can be a little distracting. Now I’m back, focused, basking in the sunshine and recovering from my first Carnaval.

Other than sharing this news, this post was intended to be a short announcement of the “III Encontro Brasileiro em Teoria das Categorias“. Brasil has a vibrant (applied) category theory community and it has so far been a very welcoming space. If you are interested, feel free to get in touch with the organizers.

After being quiet for a little while, I can reassure that more posts will come soon — this time from below the equator.

Until next time,

Ben
