By the way, is this seminar organized by DPMMS, computer science, or both? I'm curious about what's going on with category theory in Cambridge now that Martin Hyland has retired in maths and Jamie Vicary has gotten a job there in computer science.

This is the DPMMS seminar. There's a separate seminar in the computer science theory group, which is organised by Jamie Vicary (some of the past talks have been uploaded on the OWLS YouTube channel), though it's been inactive recently, and it's not exclusively category theory.

I've been organising them since Tamara left, but it will likely be over once I graduate (hopefully in a few months); as far as I know all the category theory in Cambridge will be left to the Computer Lab, as both PTJ and Hyland are retired and I'm the last student.

Roughly 2 years ago. I haven't spoken to her in a while, but last time I had news she had some nice industry job

The next category theory seminar will be next Tuesday (08/06) at 10 am BST (=GMT+1). My apologies for the time, but it can't be helped --- our speaker this time is Richard Garner (Macquarie University).

Title: Cartesian differential categories as skew enriched categories
