How do we teach research to our students?
Many academic papers could be half as long—or less. But we write them to be self-contained and accessible to a broad scholarly audience, so we repeat background, define well-known terms, pad the argument just to be safe. And then publishers restrict the number of footnotes.
In an ideal world, a paper would be short, dense, even cryptic—and followed by a massive apparatus of notes explaining context, terminology, prior work, alternatives. Instead, we do the opposite: long main text, minimal notes

I am currently writing an NSF AISL proposal due 1/8/25. I have also been invited to join one at Purdue. Is it against the rules to be co-PI on 2 NSF proposals at the same time?
Thanks.
I'm on the TU Eindhoven campus today to present our IJCAI 2023 work at the inaugural symposium of the Special Interest Group for Algorithms in the Netherlands (https://www.sigalgo.nl/). Looking forward to a day of networking and learning!
