Join us today at noon EDT for a press conference with the winners of this year's Fields Medals, Abacus Medal and Gauss Prize. We'll be taking questions from virtual attendees via [email protected] youtube.com/watch?v=2dr2F2… #ICM2026

One of the most important contributions to the study of how stars evolve didn’t come from an astrophysicist. It came from computer scientist Bill Paxton, who invented the Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA): simonsfoundation.org/2025/08/12/a-s… #science #astrophysics

Open-source modeling platform GeoClaw enables scientists to predict and prepare for deadly natural disasters — like earthquakes and tsunamis — by simulating complex geophysical flows: simonsfoundation.org/2025/07/30/tsu… #science #math #geology #FlatironCCM
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: nasw.org/events/craftin…
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. nobelprize.org/prizes/chemist…
@BestFriendsFest For those interested, I put together an in-depth guide on Reddit with tons of tips and insights for the @BestFriendsFest reddit.com/r/bestfriendsf…
Unfortunately, I can't get the 300-coin location bonus as I'm recovering from COVID. @amyjmuller @WatchNebula #JetLagTheGame
@thewheatgerm How do you all choose which food items get snack zones and which don't? Are there unreleased snack zone segments that just didn't fit the pacing of the episode? Can you be bribed or (lovingly) threatened into releasing these snack zones?

Dear science journalists, please apply to be @QuantaMagazine's managing editor or pass this along to qualified candidates: simonsfoundation.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/simonsfo…
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 @briankeating simonsfoundation.org/2024/06/03/sim…
@LCTheater It worked for me this time! Hurray! For those having issues earlier, they were resolved for me.
@LCTheater @amacleod717 @corellianjedi2 @JamieWaldorf @RobertDowneyJr @Telecharge This wasn't true as of a few minutes ago, according to the phone representative,
@LCTheater @JamieWaldorf @RobertDowneyJr For those on hold, phone support can't help with LincTix issues at the moment. (The phone wait was 35+ minutes, so it might be best to wait for the issue to get resolved.)
@arkh4m_ @LCTheater The purchasing system is broken for those of us who made it through the queue. I imagine they're waiting for it to be fixed to let more people through.
@LCTheater @JamieWaldorf @RobertDowneyJr Thanks! I'm now on hold. It seems my account also got locked for unusual activity (which is fair, I have now had five charges to my credit cards and each charge got refunded).
@JamieWaldorf @LCTheater @RobertDowneyJr Same here. Three separate charges, all refunded.

Jim Simons (1938–2024) was driven by curiosity. His lifelong passion for math and basic science led him to successful careers as a mathematician, investor and philanthropist. Read more about Jim’s life and work: simonsfoundation.org/2024/05/10/rem…
Thomas Sumner retweeted
It is with great sadness that the Simons Foundation announces the death of its co-founder and chair emeritus, James Harris Simons. Jim was an award-winning mathematician, a legendary investor and a generous philanthropist. simonsfoundation.org/2024/05/10/sim…
