Smuggled myself into BIGGICon last night. Well, smuggled is a strong word, given I was invited, but had not registered because I didn’t think I could go.
…what’s BIGGICon? Time for a brief history lesson: the PhD scheme I did was called IGGI and I was part of the first cohort, 12 years ago. IGGI (Intelligent Games and Games Intelligence) is now almost done. Over. Last cohort was onboarded 3 years ago (all planned, by design and funding). IGGICon was a yearly event showcasing the students, their work, and the industry partners. BIGGICon is just the last and biggest IGGICon.
While academia as a whole left a sour taste in my mouth, despite an amazing supervisor and a topic I really loved, the people in IGGI are amazing. And the people supporting the students from industry.
So next time you see someone boasting an IGGI doctorate or experience, they’re likely amazing and you should hire them / give them your undivided attention / donate all your wordly possessions to them.
Oh, and I’ve been told The Chinese Room has some amazing announcements soon (TM). Looking really forward to that.
New research group by a dear former colleague now at the Institute of Astronomy, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences in Sofia: Cometary Life Cycle (CLIC) led by Rosita Kokotanekova …
… is looking for two PhD students and two Postdocs to study the physical evolution of comet nuclei and their links to other small body populations (TNOs, Centaurs, irregular moons, and dormant comets). The project is also closely linked to Comet Interceptor and Rubin Observatory’s LSST.

Rosita adds: “I know Bulgaria is not a traditional top destination for young researchers, but this is a well-funded opportunity for independent, curious candidates open to the adventure.” Deadlines to apply to go on this adventure are September 30 for the PhD students, and October 31 for the Postdocs.
