Are you an NASW (@ScienceWriters) member looking to improve your press release chops? Next Thursday at noon ET, I'll be joining @ShipLives and @lquinn_phd to host a virtual discussion on crafting effective press releases. More information here:

Another win for AI/machine learning at this year's @NobelPrize, this time for chemists using the tools to predict how proteins fold. Machine learning has revolutionized scientific discovery, and the Nobel Committee clearly recognizes that.

Unfortunately, I can't get the 300-coin location bonus as I'm recovering from COVID. @amyjmuller .@WatchNebula #JetLagTheGame

The hunt is on. From a vantage point high in the Chilean Andes, cosmologists with the @SimonsObs have begun searching for evidence of what happened in the minuscule fraction of a second that followed the Big Bang. @SimonsFdn @DrBrianKeating

RT @SimonsFdn: Jim Simons (1938–2024) was driven by curiosity. His lifelong passion for math and basic science led him to successful career….

For those attending or interested in the Best Friends Forever festival in Las Vegas, we now have a fan-led subreddit for discussing the event! Check out:

I'm excited to announce that @simonsfoundation is funding 100+ events for April's total solar eclipse, including dozens of partnerships ranging from science museums to eclipse-inspired art exhibits to craft breweries.

RT @_TheTransmitter: "The publication aims to deliver insights and tools to build bridges across neuroscience and propel research forward."….

Scientists are building an AI for scientific discovery using tech behind ChatGPT. While ChatGPT deals in words & sentences, the new AI will learn from data & simulations, aiding the modeling of everything from stars to climate. @SimonsFdn @FlatironInst

On Oct 19, I'll be talking about science/STEM writing as a career path at @nysci's #STEMNight w/ @illanaraia & Jamila H. Lindo!.This free event will be great for high school & college students hoping to combine their love of STEM & writing. More info here:

One of the biggest problems in condensed matter physics just got solved. A new paper in @ScienceMagazine is the first to explain the odd properties of "strange metals," which are closely related to superconductors. @aavishkar_patel @FlatironCCQ @SimonsFdn .

Hear the secrets that hide in the twinkling of stars. @FlatironCCA and @NorthwesternU researchers created the first computer simulations showing how convection in the cores of massive stars generates waves that result in flickering starlight. @SimonsFdn.

Following 15 years of data collection in a galaxy-sized experiment, @NANOGrav has "heard" the perpetual chorus of gravitational waves rippling through our universe for the first time — and it’s louder than expected @FlatironCCA @SimonsFdn @Dr_CMingarelli.

A new analysis of measurements of the universe’s oldest light made by the Atacama Cosmology Telescope shows how ordinary and dark matter is spread across the cosmos, backing up Einstein’s theory of gravity. @SimonsFdn.@ACT_Pol @FlatironCCA
