Our new Simons Collaboration on the Physics of Learning and Neural Computation will employ and develop powerful tools from #physics, #math, computer science and theoretical #neuroscience to understand how large neural networks learn, compute, scale, reason and imagine: simonsfoundation.org/2025/08…
To all my family, friends, and followers—I’ve started a new Twitter page for something very dear to my heart: Sound+Science, a new company bridging STEM & music. This journey means so much to me—please follow and be part of it! 💙🚀 #SoundPlusScience #NewBeginnings
🎶🔬 Sound+Science, founded by @stephstem—a theoretical physicist & jazz musician—is an after-school program empowering NYC youth by bridging STEM & music. Backed by Science, Society & Culture at @SimonsFdn, SPS opens new career pathways in science & tech! 🚀🎷 #SoundPlusScience
Fantastic piece about the @SimonsObs in the @nytimes! (Should be unlocked) @SimonsFdn Supported!

And, for a brief moment, no one had been told what to think, feel or chant.
Honored to play and dialogue with jazz legend Donald Harrison @donharmusi about our quantum improvisation collaboration kcur.org/arts-life/2023-06-1…
Just wrapped up an amazing 3-day experience engaging with the students of BART Public Charter School, the only rural charter in the US. 🌾📚 Such a wonderful opportunity to connect with these bright minds! #Education #RuralCharter #Inspired #StudentsFirst
in this new video , I team up with my former Phd advisor Robert Brandenberger and other cosmology to explain:

Paper 📜 day with @stephstem, Marc Kamionkowski, and @oliver_philcox! arxiv.org/pdf/2303.04815.pdf
We have found that parity violation can be strongly imprinted in galaxies (and also the cosmic microwave background) through gravitational interactions in the early Universe. (1/n)

Big congratulations to Dr. (and now Professor) Alex Amon @astroalexamon , for being the first Trinidadian to become a professor of Astrophysics at Princeton University. As a fellow Trini-American, I am overjoyed and proud! Alex, your hard work ingenuity and grit has paid off!
what a fantastic group of brilliant physics grad student . I had a great time at @LSU @LSUphysastro and @LIGO . Next to me is another Trini-American physicist!
currently visiting the @LIGO gravitational wave observatory ! Here to talk about gravitational wave parity violation . @brainpicker @briankeating @expressupdates
