[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

“I was born and raised in Amman, Jordan to a refugee family. We were ten kids plus our parents. We lived in a humble home. We didn’t have the usual conveniences of running water or electricity. In addition to that, we shared the space with our livestock that we lived off. So, I would say it was not an easy childhood. And my parents worked very hard to send us to these nice, strong schools.”

In our official interview, Omar Yaghi – chemistry laureate and son of Palestinian refugees – described his childhood. He was a quiet yet diligent student who became captivated by chemistry at an early age. Recognising his son's potential, his father gave him the entirety of their savings at 15 and pushed him to continue his studies in the United States. Yaghi told us, "I’m sure this is a story that repeats itself in many families where the parents are absolutely dedicated to their children’s education, because education is the gateway to better life and potentially happiness."

It's safe to say that his parent's dedication and Yaghi's personal work ethic paid off. He was awarded the 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry jointly with Susumu Kitagawa and Richard Robson "for the development of metal-organic frameworks."

Just noticed the DET curve (Detection error tradeoff) is supported by sklearn (thank you!) A solid metric for detection tasks. Easier to visualize than ROC.

My first title when I joined Amazon (15 years ago) was TPPM - Technical Product Program Manager. What does that mean? Well, here is a thread on types of PMs.
