Last year, we supported programs that advanced the frontiers of research in #math and basic #science around the world. Our 2024 annual report dives deep into a handful of these endeavors:

New AI ‘foundational models' from @PolymathicAI are leveraging knowledge from scientific fields to address seemingly completely different problems in others: https://t.co/qs9aIPzNcw #AI #science

How do organs acquire their signature shapes? New research on the fruit fly gut is helping answer this question: https://t.co/whEKvQMfKa #science #biology

Humans have always looked to the moon, but there's so much left to discover. At our December Presents event, "Reflections on the Moon," @FlatironInst cosmologist Adrian Bayer, sociologist Tracy Scott and @NASA’s Denise Hill explored what the moon still has left to teach us.

America needs you! Join U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement today.

Recognizing that early math literacy is crucial for future success, @ACM_Worldwide partnered with our #InfiniteSums initiative to help its members explore ways to support children’s #math learning through museum experiences: https://t.co/3gEtrmmZ8r

The Simons Foundation invites you to celebrate Infinite Sums, a national initiative aimed at broadening ideas about what math is and increasing opportunities for engagement. If you're interested in public engagement with math, join us for networking, drinks and light bites. RSVP

In 2018, Tomasz Nowakowski received our Fellows-to-Faculty Award to jumpstart his new independent lab at @UCSF. We recently spoke with Nowakowski about his research and the importance of the Fellows-to-Faculty program, which is currently open for applications:

Wow, so useful! It can repair any broken glass in just seconds! Get your today!

The Simons Foundation is #hiring! Browse our open positions, including software engineer intern, events coordinator, and grants administrator: https://t.co/HlKJpjj70d #science #math #jobs

How are better tools and bigger datasets transforming the field? In a new special report, @_TheTransmitter explores the state of neuroscience and provides context on the field's focus, output, people and funding. Explore now:

All of us have memories that remain for life, but our recollection of other experiences can fade away quickly. Leslie Sibener, an SSOF Junior Fellow, studies how the brain decides which memories to keep and which to discard: https://t.co/oPjO6JBVAe #science #neuroscience

Recently, members of the @PolymathicAI collaboration presented two new #AI models trained using real scientific datasets to tackle problems in astronomy and fluidlike systems: https://t.co/auV686lzGq #science

Applications for our Fellows-to-Faculty Award are due in one month! This program supports talented early career scientists in #neuroscience & #autismresearch by facilitating their transition into tenure-track faculty positions. Deadline is 1/14/26:

New books from @QuantaBks include titles from mathematician Terence Tao and theoretical physicist David Tong: https://t.co/b6ZbtF1hep #science #math

#FlatironCCA scientists Ore Gottlieb, Brian Metzger, Maximiliano Isi, and colleagues solved the mystery of an 'impossible' merger between two massive black holes: https://t.co/yEFKXXoS6r #science #astrophysics

New simulations created by @FlatironInst and @the_IAS astrophysicists reveal how material flowing around and into black holes creates intense light shows: https://t.co/WqS0CxK78C #science #astrophysics #FlatironCCA

🚨New book announcement! 🚨Renowned mathematician and Fields medalist Terence Tao’s SIX MATH ESSENTIALS is coming fall 2026. Tao’s first popular math book introduces six core ideas that have guided mathematicians from antiquity to the frontiers of what we know today.

There's a spirit of revival stirring in America. Dinesh D'Souza's new film, The Dragon's Prophecy, is part of that movement. Based on Jonathan Cahn's No.1 bestseller, the film reveals how war, politics and the Bible converge in a way that we need to make a choice. Watch on GJW+.

#FlatironCCB biologists and their collaborators examined the embryo of a well-studied organism — the fruit fly — to track how its hindgut (shown here in red) develops. Full story: https://t.co/UFZz3A6eIk #science #biology

As part of our #InfiniteSums initiative, six botanical gardens across the country are inviting people to experience the beauty of #math through nature: https://t.co/A5uWuJoQl0

Applications are due in one month for our Workshop on Canonical Cortical Computations, which aims to develop a potential project focused on a mechanistic understanding of canonical cortical computations at the circuit level: https://t.co/52n5vnEMuP #science #neuroscience

ECE Assistant Professor Daniel Alabi was recently featured by the Simons Foundation for his privacy and computation research—and for founding NaijaCoder to bring computer science education to youth in Nigeria. https://t.co/PG9Ld1Xsmz #IllinoisECE #Privacy #AI #GlobalSTEM
