"I wanted to explore what we can do to accelerate the discovery of materials for clean energy." Watch our film with @suhasm @UofT and learn about his interdisciplinary plans to discover new materials and develop next-generation clean energy technologies - https://t.co/o0k3WCaSYk

Gladys Ngetich’s journey has taken her from Kenya to Oxford and now to MIT. Motivated both to improve the sustainability and equitability of flight and space and to inspire girls in Africa to take science and engineering paths, she shares her story here – https://t.co/OjTm3ZDHQ1

[Schmidt Science Fellows @SchmidtFellows]

Our Fellows are trailblazers and pioneers, harnessing the potential of interdisciplinary science to tackle the world’s most pressing challenges. Over the next week, we launch our new film series, ‘We Are Schmidt Science Fellows’ where three Fellows share their scientific journey.

[Schmidt Science Fellows @SchmidtFellows]

Understanding the limitless boundaries of evolution can help tackle issues such as antibiotic resistance. Our latest film features @mrazomej @Stanford as he explores the mysteries of evolution by applying physics to biology questions. Watch his film here: https://t.co/6hDl6czG1m

[Schmidt Science Fellows @SchmidtFellows]

Interdisciplinary science is how we make bigger discoveries faster - and have a positive impact on the world. With our Fellows and partners, we want to change how science is done to foster more interdisciplinary science. Learn more about our vision in our new film:

Jennifer Doudna told the @SchmidtFellows earlier today: “You are the leaders of the future. You can change the way science is done in the future.” @doudna_lab @igisci @UCBerkeley

Our Fellows spent time learning about the role of venture capital and the uniqueness of Silicon Valley yesterday. Thanks to @rypan @kleinerperkins and Manish Kothari at First Spark Ventures for sharing their insights on navigating the VC world.

[Schmidt Science Fellows @SchmidtFellows]

Last night we hosted an all Fellowship dinner and were joined by Fellows across all five cohorts, Partners, sponsors, and friends to celebrate five years of @SchmidtFellows, community, achievements, and Fellowship at Bing concert hall @Stanford.

[Schmidt Science Fellows @SchmidtFellows]

We have started our Northern California Global Meeting with the 2021 and 2022 cohorts hosted by @Stanford @UCBerkeley. This week Fellows will be exposed to leading thinkers, cutting-edge science on facilitating interdisciplinary research, and more!

Start of the third day of the @SchmidtFellows Senior Fellows Conference in Menlo Park, California

[Schmidt Science Fellows @SchmidtFellows]

End of day two of our inaugural Senior Fellows conference. Fellows from across our Fellowship community have been sharing their science, discussing challenges, and offering insights. The strongest connections are truly based on friendship.

[Schmidt Science Fellows @SchmidtFellows]

The first session this morning at our Senior Fellows conference and Fellows are sharing updates about their science with each other in ‘speed science’. Lots of exciting conversations and connections forming amongst our Senior Fellows community.

[Schmidt Science Fellows @SchmidtFellows]

We are looking forward to welcoming almost 100 members of our Schmidt Science Fellows community to the Bay Area in the next few days for the inaugural Senior Fellows Conference and a joint Global Meeting series for the 2021 and 2022 cohorts hosted by @Stanford and @UCBerkeley.

[Schmidt Science Fellows @SchmidtFellows]

We are proud to announce the first recipients of the new Schmidt Science Fellows Senior Fellows Catalyst Grants. The Catalyst Grant Scheme aims to support new interdisciplinary science projects from our community to tackle global challenges. Read more: https://t.co/cnA20RLMLL

Our Executive Director @megan_kenna is speaking today at #THEwas in New York in a discussion about what needs to change in the future of research. Megan has shared her views on why we need to support interdisciplinary approaches better if we want to tackle big challenges.

[Ryan Truby @rltruby]

I went back and looked at my research statement for the @SchmidtFellows, and everything I dreamed of working on I got to do. Forever grateful for the support from SSF & @SchmidtFutures! It wouldn’t have been possible to do the work I’m doing now without y’all.

[Anu Mayer @anumayer]

To advance scientific discovery in tackling global challenges, we must lower the barriers around interdisciplinary science. Senior Fellow and Assistant Prof @NorthwesternU @rltruby shares his views in his op-ed @timeshighered

[Times Higher Education @timeshighered]

Opinion: The barriers to interdisciplinary science must be lowered

We need a sector-wide commitment to reforming career structures, funding strategies and publication outlets, says @rltruby https://t.co/ELxBa0mFmz

[Ryan Truby @rltruby]

Our grand challenges are becoming more interdisciplinary in nature. But is science keeping up? Are there barriers we can lower to support scientists who want and need to work across disciplines? I share more with @timeshighered in my first ever opinion piece! @SchmidtFellows
