How will genomics reshape human health across a lifetime? 🧬 Researchers gathered at the NAS in late October for the 5th Blavatnik US–Israel Scientific Forum to discuss complex traits, cancer genomics, AI in genomics, and more. Watch the recordings: https://t.co/HSGjXlibvH

"Science is not done in a day... Discovery is not something you can predict." In a candid talk with @ChemistryWorld, #NASmember and theoretical chemist Odile Eisenstein reflects on her life in and out of science, and shares advice for fellow scientists.

Language can be tricky to parse without context. For instance, the sentence “Rowan fed his pet chicken” is ambiguous. Is the chicken Rowan’s pet or his pet’s meal? Some AI models can recognize the syntactic differences between these two possible meanings. https://t.co/5u9hQyp5dr

Three words: pine, crab, sauce. There’s a fourth word that combines with the others to create another common word. What is it? When you finally get it, it may feel instantaneous. A recent study shows what happens in the brain during “aha” moments.

If you could sign up for a trip to any planet in our solar system, skip Venus. Think sulfuric acid rainstorms, lead-melting temperatures and a suffocating cloak of carbon dioxide.

For the first time, physicists have formulated quantum theory without imaginary numbers, overturning a 2021 claim that these unreal numbers are essential for describing the quantum world. @dangaristo reports:

SIAM member and #SIAMMDS24 speaker Moon Duchin (@Cornell) was featured in a @nytimes article, “Moon Duchin on the ‘Mathematical Quagmire’ of Gerrymandering.” Duchin’s work about the mathematics of elections is summarized in this SIAM News article: https://t.co/jreMSG37VH

New heroes portrait of @Cornell mathematician @stevenstrogatz for @theNASEM. Steven Strogatz has a way of finding rhythm in places most people overlook. In his office at Malott Hall at Cornell, and later in the Space Sciences Building at the SPIF, that rhythm came alive in a

What does it mean to be fair? Is fairness always possible? What does math have to say about envy? Find out in this month's Feature Column, Achieving Fairness by Joe Malkevitch. Link in comments.

Wilfrid Gangbo, @ucla, will receive the 2026 Award for Distinguished Public Service for his successful efforts to promote the professional careers of mathematicians from underrepresented groups, in particular those from African and African-American communities. Link in comments.

Meet Sarah Reznikoff from @virginia_tech! Sarah is one of the organizers of the upcoming workshop for Department Chairs and Leaders in Washington, DC, on Saturday, January 3, 2026. Sarah will lead a discussion on connecting students with non-academic careers! Sign up today!

From cryptography to teleportation, #NASmember Gilles Brassard has helped shape #quantum science. In @TheWalrus, he explains how quantum computers could shatter our digital security, and the science behind the line of defense he pioneered decades ago. 💻

A recent study replicated “aha” moments while studying participant brain activity. Stronger realizations were accompanied by more activity in memory-linked regions of the brain and better recollection of the insight days later.

In 1977, Carlo Rovelli was detained for refusing compulsory military service. “I had a sense that we were confused about how to think about reality around us.” His work as a theoretical physicist entails a radical rethinking of what our theories are really telling us.

In the 1600s, Prince Rupert of the Rhine, a nephew of Charles I of England, won a bet about whether a tunnel can be cut through a cube to allow another cube of equal size to pass through. Today, mathematicians study this “Rupert property” in many shapes. https://t.co/Z5koo2Lgj6

In this month’s issue of SIAM News, Erin Carson and Theo Mary explain how the use of #mixedprecision #computing can reduce memory requirements and improve computing performance without sacrificing accuracy. Read more here! #SIAMCSE25 https://t.co/eL0N1XCugD

On the SIAM News Blog, Benjamin Smarr explores how dynamic physiotypes—#parametrizations of individual state and variance structure—can reduce bias in #AI models of health that comes from problematic assumptions about uniform distributions. #SIAMDS25 https://t.co/vsi1quohHu
