Another program happening in parallel " New trends in non-equilibrium dynamics " with really great lectures on theory of active matter , diffusion processes and many other topics. check the talks here: online.kitp.ucsb.edu/online/compl...

So happy to be back at the @kitp-ucsb.bsky.social for an amazing program on „Biological learning without a Brain „ I highly recommend that you watch the online talks that should be updated everyday from now on: online.kitp.ucsb.edu/online/brain...

Chien-shiung Wu's experiment is one of the most brilliant in all of science. Absolute disgrace that she did not share the Nobel Prize with Lee & Yang. Loved @minouette.bsky.social cartoon summary of the experiment, read the Alt-text if you don't see the clever details. Thanks! 🧪⚛️

Happy birthday #physicist Chien-shiung Wu (1912-1997), who came up with a truly beautiful experiment to test whether the weak force conserves parity (whether beta decay would be the same if reflected in the mirror)! 🧪🐡👩🏻‍🔬 #histsci In my print on the left I show Wu in her lab & a schematic diagram of

Linocut print of Chien-shiung Wu in indigo wearing a lab coat and holding a schematic diagram of her famous violation of parity experiment (in blue and indigo) on the left side. The right side shows the mirror image except in the schematic diagram. The left side schematic shows a C shaped electromagnet open to the left. The top is labeled S, the bottom is labeled N and the middle is wrapped in wire drawn as a circuit diagram schematic with parallel lines to indicate a power source and left arrow on top wire, right arrow on bottom. Between the poles of the magnet is a big blue dot to designate Cobalt-60 with many tiny dots as beta-decay electrons, the majority going downwards to N pole. On the right, everything is flipping except most electrons go upwards (and and N and S poles are flipped).

We're thrilled to support geneticist Alexander Starr as a FutureHouse AI-for-Science Fellow. From human-chimp cell data to AI-driven discovery, his work is uncovering the genetic roots of uniquely human traits and predicting how gene regulation evolves across species.

Very same. It is an honor and a privilege to be a scientist supported by the public to do work in service of knowledge and future cures.

As a recipient of federal grants from #NIH (for now! 😭) that funds research in my lab, I'd like to sincerely thank American taxpayers on #TaxDay for investing in scientific research that lays the foundation for medical and technological innovation in this country and keeps us ALL safe and healthy

I showed this graph in class yesterday on how measles cases in the United States plummeted dramatically after the vaccine was licensed in 1963. It’s not subtle and I could not resist observing: “This stunning design in measles cases was not thanks to vitamin A. It was not due to beef tallow.”

#OTD in 1936, Danish seismologist Inge Lehmann wrote a famous letter to a colleague outlining her theory that seismic waves (P-waves) recorded from distant earthquakes indicated Earth had a solid inner core. Her discovery fundamentally changed our understanding of the Earth's interior. #WomenInSTEM

A vintage sepia-toned portrait photograph of Danish seismologist Inge Lehmann taken in 1932, at around age 44. She is posed formally against a softly draped curtain backdrop, gazing directly at the camera with a calm, intelligent, and composed expression. She has short, neatly waved dark hair and wears a simple, elegant dark blouse or dress with a light-colored V-neck insert or scarf tied loosely. The image captures her poised and thoughtful demeanor during the early years of her groundbreaking career in seismology, before her landmark discovery of Earth's solid inner core in 1936. #seismology #WomensHistoryMonthEducational diagram in exploded view showing the internal layers of the Earth. From left to right: a cutaway globe with blue surface and white continents labeled “CRUST,” followed by the thick brown mantle labeled “MANTLE,” the red outer core labeled “OUTER CORE,” and the small yellow inner core labeled “INNER CORE.” A complete blue globe with continents appears on the right for scale. All layers are separated horizontally to reveal the structure.

This is only true for people who understand neither science nor economics. The NIH budget for this year is FIFTY times larger than OpenAI’s $1B pledge. The foundation of US science & innovation is public funding. The private sector cannot replace it. US science is being killed

roon @tszzl the private sector has been remaking its own versions of NIH, ARPA etc as these public science institutions have seen structural decline and defunding and it will be supercharged by the funding NPV of machine intelligence and its firepower at allocation decisions
