I was born to a mother who was too good for the men she dated. She'd laugh in the faces of billionaires who loved her, ripping up their round-the-world Concorde tickets while they sat there slack-jawed. Men think money or status is enough for these women. Nothing could be…

I visited a HIV village in central China 10 years ago. I noticed a kindergarten that was only for the children of HIV parents, because public schools do not accept them. So I decided to start the gene editing research.

I'm excited that a Dutch research team has taken our surprising AI-discovered ozone-chemistry conservation law, figured out what it means, and generalized it! I see great potential for AI helping science.😀

A strange conservation law discovered by our AI method is now understood by domain experts (see this paper arxiv.org/abs/2306.09553)! This is a special moment for me - never felt this proud of the tools we're building! And, NO, AI isn't replacing scientists, but complementing us.

A thread Twitter recently asked `what is symplectic geometry about'. I am pretty sure that this is something that people who actually work on the field ask themselves repeatedly. I certainly was confused by this Q as a grad student. @tarunchitra @chessapig @taz_chu

Understanding the origin of neural scaling laws and the emergence of new capabilities with scale is key to understanding what deep neural networks are learning. In our new paper, @tegmark, @ZimingLiu11, @uzpg_ and I develop a theory of neural scaling. 🧵: arxiv.org/abs/2303.13506
