1/2 How can one make sense of dolphin vocalizations and behavior? First, "use machine learning to rediscover human words by just watching unlabeled videos of people talking about things," said @mit.edu's Mark Hamilton, speaking at the Simons Institute. Video: simons.berkeley.edu/talks/mark-h...

1/2 While in Hawaii during the pandemic, Markus Freitag realized he should take whale language translation seriously. "I really fell in love with whales. You could just lay in the water and you could hear them singing," he said at the Simons Institute. Video: simons.berkeley.edu/talks/markus...

I had fun speaking today at the Quantum World Congress panel on Demystifying Quantum: How to Communicate Cutting Edge Science to Diverse Audiences. Alongside the fantastic moderator @csrday.bsky.social and esteemed panelists @nicoleyh11.bsky.social and Ben Stein #QWC2025

Early-bird reg. discount for ScienceWriters2025, the annual conference for science journalists and science writers, ends next Weds (Oct 1). I plan to attend SciWri, as usual. It's always great. Let's all attend to re-energize, learn, make job connex & hang out in Chicago. sciencewriters2025.org

I was intrigued to find out what are "Mechanical #quantum memories" & listened to this latest episode @newquantumera.com! It was fun & I enjoyed learning about how to extend a quantum state of a #qubit!

Many thanks to Seyoon Ragavan for chatting with me about the topic & his work!

Mathematical Framework Explains Evolutionary Dynamics of Behavior | SIAM An enhanced mathematical framework enables a nuanced exploration of the spread of cultural phenomena—like traits and beliefs—within a population.

What a great list! Would love to check it out. I’m looking at the digital version of today’s paper and can’t seem to find it. Is it available only on the Boston Globe website ?

We welcomed a merry band of cryptographers to the Institute this week!

Check out their boot camp, now underway — with a focus on obfuscation, proof systems, and secure computation. Register to view the livestream or gain early access to recordings.

The picture shows the Her Maths Story logo on top, below is a comic style drawing of a woman. She’s wearing a white shirt, blue jacket and red trousers, holding up cards against the light. In the background you can see mathematical formulas, and other science related figures like a DNA double helix. Below the picture it says happy women in maths day.

Happy Women in Maths Day! 🥳 🎊 🙌 Today we celebrate all the incredible women like Maryam Mirzakhani that paved the way for new generations and everyone who supports women in maths today! #womeninmaths #womeninstem #celebratewomen #mathsisbeautiful #womeninscience #hermathsstory 1/7

The power of quantum materials to harness photons for quantum technologies The delicate nature of qubits has spurred research into discovering special types of materials with quantum properties that can potentially create stable qubits.

I had fun learning about #nanoribbons, #quantumdots and #excitons from Avetik Harutyunyan, Boris Yakobson, Dorian Gangloff @eng.cam.ac.uk, Richard Warburton @unibas.ch & Mack Kira @umich.edu for my article in Photonics Focus @SPIE - spie.org/news/photoni...
