For my latest @nature.com piece, I talked to Ryan Rising, who is trying to build a prison-to-academia pipeline, informed by his own experience in incarceration. "At the core of my work is a simple idea: the people who are most affected by a problem are the ones closest to its solution."

I want to see a prison-to-PhD pipeline

Ryan Rising creates programmes that help people who have been incarcerated to access academic opportunities.

Went on a four-hour bike ride today on the new section of the @atlantabeltline.org. Patches of pristine nature, followed by lively neighbourhoods. Wonder how the city will evolve around it in the next years.

Atlanta Beltline@atlantabeltline.org · 2mo ago

Today is about more than just a new segment opening. It's about unifying our Southside, Eastside, + Westside Trails, and providing Atlantans with more connectivity than ever before.

Could Christiano and Messi get along? Dennis and Melissa sure can, in an ATLAS-CMS collaborative effort to explain anomaly detection ;)

Such fun stories, from understanding sheep brain damage to searching for dark matter. My favourite was reading about moments when you find out something that the rest of the world doesn't know yet.

Setting up my research group Slack workspace (free version). Has anyone considered Discord / Zulip / something else? @marielpettee.bsky.social @lukasheinrich.com

Yeah, even crazier- last year for my postdoc ad a full half of the applications legit never made reference to anything my lab does and how my research would connect to theirs. You are literally in the top half of applicants for just TRYING to draw a connection in a sentence in the cover letter!

Like AI + Physics, which is a well-developed field but we're still only scratching the surface of what we can do!

Eugene Vinitsky 🍒@eugenevinitsky.bsky.social · 10mo ago

For folks considering grad school in ML, my advice is to explore programs that mix ML with a domain interest. ML programs are wildly oversubscribed while a lot of the fun right now is in figuring out what you can do with it

At the launch event for ‪@gtsciences.bsky.social‬'s AI4Science Centre: ai4science.ai.gatech.edu. With colleagues from psychology, math, earth sciences and everything in between. Looking forward to all the cross-pollination within the sciences and also with industry!

A little comment like one of these makes my week. Teaching and mentorship is easily the most rewarding aspect of academia. Makes it all worth it. Thanks again to all the students who came to ML4FP and interacted with us for a week. Your positive comments mean the word to us!

Today we have the ATLAS, CMS and Neutrino parallel sessions at the ML4FP School. Julia Gonski give us an overview of ML in ATLAS

GPT5's explanation for FTS is quite impressive, especially where it gives an intuitive explanation that is not just directly lifted from the paper. Makes it easy to learn a new statistics concept. chatgpt.com/s/t_6894ece0...

Some happy news — I’ve accepted a tenure-track faculty position in the School of Physics at Georgia Tech! My group will work at the intersection of AI and fundamental physics & astrophysics. GT is making massive investments in these directions, and I’m hiring a postdoc — more soon!

Delighted to see our work featured in the news! Two key players mentioned but unfortunately not explicitly named: discussions with Kyle Cranmer and Johann Brehmer were crucial in the initial stages. Also Jay, Rafael were central in making it a reality in ATLAS.
