I received sad news that Mary Beth Ruskai passed away Sept. 27, 2023 at her home in Vermont. She was a titan of quantum information & mathematical physics, most known for her joint proof of strong subadditivity of quantum entropy. She was a strong promoter of women in science.

Here's physicist Anne L'Huillier finishing up her class this morning, moments after learning she'd won a Nobel Prize. Well done, professor!

Anne L’Huillier is now the 5th woman to win a Nobel Prize in physics, sharing w/2 others for work to “generate attosecond pulses of light for the study of electron dynamics in matter.” (She’s also just the 2nd woman to win the Wolf Prize in Physics after CS Wu in 1978.) Congrats!

“Ten years ago I was kicked out and forced to retire.” Our new medicine laureate Katalin Karikó (@kkariko) told us how much it means to be awarded the Nobel Prize after a scientific career that has been full of challenges. Ten years ago, Karikó was still doing all her

Very nice profile from @Carolynyjohnson on the great @kkariko, newly minted Nobel laureate
washingtonpost.com
For Katalin Kariko, a life in full: awe-inspiring ideas, careful experiments, unnoticed successes and the repeated sting of rejection.

Welcome to Boston, Metsies! See you when the skies clear up. #lgm
Fenway Park is in the middle of a wicked thunderstorm. The entire warning track is a lake. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen sustained rain like this at a ballpark.
