Marie Curie was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize. This didn't happen because she herself fought for it -- although she did fight hard the whole way to even get to that point. 👩🔬
What happened was that the award was offered to her husband, Pierre. (1/n) 🧵
Congratulations to our 2024 medicine laureate Victor Ambros ✨
This morning he celebrated the news of his prize with his colleague and wife Rosalind Lee, who was also the first author on the 1993 'Cell' paper cited by the Nobel Committee.
#NobelPrize
Concerning (but not surprising)analysis from Nature about who wins the Nobel Prize - it’s held in such high esteem, but does a singular focus on these awards hold science back?

One of the most interesting papers I've read on GPT-4 was the "Embers of Autoregression" paper by @RTomMcCoy et al.
Now the same group has done similar studies on GPT o1. 👀

It’s summer. Parenting with digital technologies is inevitable. Are all digital options bad for development? What are the good options out there?
This Wednesday on August 21 with @DrYaldaUhls, @KathyandRo1, @reallymdp @riskyadpathways

Shameless self promotion - NPR’s Short Wave and @emilykwong1234 did a fantastic job covering our braille project, recognizing the value of interdisciplinary basic science oriented towards eventual policy impact. Slow and (very) satisfying science!
