MECO! What a beautiful launch... Congrats, @ltelkins and the entire @MissionToPsyche team... Can't wait for the science to begin!

[Maia Portell Weinstock ✨ @20tauri]

Go for launch! Wishing you the best, #MissionToPsyche 🚀

I received sad news that Mary Beth Ruskai passed away Sept. 27, 2023 at her home in Vermont. She was a titan of quantum information & mathematical physics, most known for her joint proof of strong subadditivity of quantum entropy. She was a strong promoter of women in science.

Here's physicist Anne L'Huillier finishing up her class this morning, moments after learning she'd won a Nobel Prize. Well done, professor!

[Aron @lantisfjantis]

Årets Nobelpristagare i fysik föreläser för oss efter (!!) att hon blev meddelad om att hon vann!!

[Maia Portell Weinstock ✨ @20tauri]

Anne L’Huillier is now the 5th woman to win a Nobel Prize in physics, sharing w/2 others for work to “generate attosecond pulses of light for the study of electron dynamics in matter.” (She’s also just the 2nd woman to win the Wolf Prize in Physics after CS Wu in 1978.) Congrats!

@josiegz Hi! Yes, super exciting... Waiting for them to share a standalone pic :)

“Ten years ago I was kicked out and forced to retire.”

Our new medicine laureate Katalin Karikó (@kkariko) told us how much it means to be awarded the Nobel Prize after a scientific career that has been full of challenges.

Ten years ago, Karikó was still doing all her experiments by hand but today she has been awarded the medicine prize for her research on mRNA, which led to the development of COVID-19 vaccines.

Listen now:

Very nice profile from @Carolynyjohnson on the great @kkariko, newly minted Nobel laureate https://t.co/w4d0V9iQuV

[Maia Portell Weinstock ✨ @20tauri]

No one more deserving: Congrats to @kkariko for persisting beyond those who doubted you and for helping to save millions of lives with the mRNA covid vaccines! Absolute legend is now a Nobel laureate 🏅 #womeninSTEM

The #IfThenSheCan project has come to MIT for the @CambSciFest! Especially pleased to see Dr. Shirley Malcolm, who taught us about the double bind.

@RunningGreg Thanks for asking, and good to know it's getting views at the SCOTUS :) I never got around to making a parts list but happy to do so when I have some time
