Extremal combinatorics, number theory, and TCS!

Whenever you hear someone sneer about scientific research that seems useless to them — “they’re studying the spit of lizards?!” — remind them that’s exactly how we got Ozempic.

Over the past five years or so, whenever I get discouraged, I ask myself: "Who would be happy if I quit now?"
At least for me, it helps.

Bhangale, Khot, Liu, and Minzer improved the bounds for combinatorial lines of length 3, established in the Polymath project on the Hales-Jewett problem. Interestingly, this is done from a TCS perspective using pseudorandomness and inverse theorems for CSPs.
