Shameless self promotion - NPR’s Short Wave and Emily Kwong did a fantastic job covering our braille project, recognizing the value of interdisciplinary basic science oriented towards eventual policy impact. Slow and (very) satisfying science! npr.org/2024/08/19/119…

One of the most interesting papers I've read on GPT-4 was the "Embers of Autoregression" paper by Tom McCoy et al. Now the same group has done similar studies on GPT o1. 👀 arxiv.org/abs/2410.01792

Concerning (but not surprising)analysis from Nature about who wins the Nobel Prize - it’s held in such high esteem, but does a singular focus on these awards hold science back? nature.com/immersive/d415…

Marie Curie was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize. This didn't happen because she herself fought for it -- although she did fight hard the whole way to even get to that point. 👩‍🔬 What happened was that the award was offered to her husband, Pierre. (1/n) 🧵
