I am thrilled to announce the transformation of the @YaleSEAS campus - a historic investment in the heart of Yale's campus for the School of Engineering & Applied Science. My deep thanks to President Salovey and Provost Strobel for their support. https://t.co/7chB1oMIol

Mathematics. Geometry. Topology. Reality. (Some people are not sure if this is entirely correct, but it is amusing nonetheless.)

A bright light and a mentor to me and many others has left us. RIP Dick, you will be missed.

It is with heavy hearts that we say farewell to Professor Emeritus Benedict Gross, who passed away in December, 2025. We collected stories, anecdotes, and recollections about Gross’ impact on the lives of his friends, colleagues, and former students. https://t.co/udNgXKhLoM

One of our new Gemma open models, Cell2Sentence-Scale, has identified a novel cancer therapy pathway that’s been validated experimentally in living cells. Developed w/ @GoogleDeepMind & @Yale University, it looks deep into how to represent cells & biological information for AI ↓

[Jeffrey Brock @ProfJeffBrock]

A truly exciting collaboration, emblematizing the best aspirations of our new strategy at @YaleEngineering. Congratulations to @david_van_dijk and colleagues!

C2S, powered by Gemma, is enabling us to generate and test new biological hypotheses — an amazing collaboration with @GoogleAI and @GoogleDeepMind!

Proud to see @Yale's collaboration with Google highlighted by @sundarpichai today. Professor David van Dijk's work at the intersection of medicine and computer science represents the kind of bold, interdisciplinary research that defines our mission at @YaleEngineering!

[Sundar Pichai @sundarpichai]

An exciting milestone for AI in science: Our C2S-Scale 27B foundation model, built with @Yale and based on Gemma, generated a novel hypothesis about cancer cellular behavior, which scientists experimentally validated in living cells. 

With more preclinical and clinical tests, this discovery may reveal a promising new pathway for developing therapies to fight cancer.

60 years ago this month, the Fast Fourier Transform was created, a powerful tool for image compression & data analysis.

I used to make this joke with my old friend @RealMcCoyTyner... I'd say not to go past the S on "Steinway." Thank you again to @BassMagOnline for this week's #SundayFunday ;)

[Jeffrey Brock @ProfJeffBrock]

@TedWittenstein @YaleEngineering @Yale_Ventures @JacksonYale @scottjshapiro @marynel_vazquez Thanks Ted! Your insights were really compelling. Much appreciated!

[Jeffrey Brock @ProfJeffBrock]

Thanks @MatthewSuttor, @shreyaneuroctrl, @scottjshapiro, @marynel_vazquez, and @TedWittenstein for entertaining my questions without any preparation!

[Jeffrey Brock @ProfJeffBrock]

I enjoyed moderating a faculty panel on AI and Innovation at the @Yale_Ventures Innovation Sunmit last week. Faculty from @YaleEngineering, @WuTsaiYale, @YaleLawSch, @JacksonYale, and @yale’s Center for Collaborative Arts and Media offered deep and thoughtful insights!

Our new mace was designed and created by Jacob Eldred, Yale MechE ‘24, over two painstaking years. It is a distillation of engineering concepts through history. We are grateful to him for spending so much time and care!

[Yale Engineering @YaleEngineering]

🎓✨ Celebrating our new ceremonial mace! 🌟🔧 Jacob Eldred is ready to led Yale Engineering's procession w/ Dean Jeffrey Brock holding the mace that together w/ faculty & classmates, he crafted to represent every depart. at Yale Engineering! Congrats, Jacob & team! #Yale2024

As we consider plans for the new Engineering campus, we are thinking about "novel" building materials. With new structural improvements, mass timber provides a compelling option.
