Karen Uhlenbeck helped pioneer a field known as geometric analysis, and she developed techniques now commonly used by many mathematicians. Today she has become the first woman to win the Abel Prize in mathematics. https://t.co/gui1za1xW8
For years, @NASAHubble observing proposals led by men have had higher success rates than those led by women. Then @stsci adopted dual-anonymous review—and the results are impressive https://t.co/KztgAerMkg by Lou Strolger & @SheerPriya#WomenInSTEM
Just saw him talk about a more realistic application of this idea to the hierarchy problem. Nice to see a new idea for why we haven't yet found an explanation for the size of the Higgs mass from LHC discoveries
