A new study from @Princeton and @FlatironInst researchers uses @SPARKforAutism data to reveal four distinct subclasses of autism. The work could open the door for more precise diagnoses and personalized support. simonsfoundation.org/2025/07/09/new… #science #autismresearch #FlatironCCB
Enjoyed co presenting this tutorial at #uai2025 in Brazil with @liyzhen2! Enjoyed the conference size and location. Also great company, weather, and food.

An international collaboration of scientists, including #FlatironCCA astrophysicists, has detected the largest merger of two black holes ever measured. In collaboration with @LIGO, @ego_virgo and @kagra_PR: simonsfoundation.org/2025/07/21/gra… #science #astrophysics
New paper from #FlatironCCN and #FlatironCCB scientist Yuhai Tu in @PNASNews: Representational drift and learning-induced stabilization in the piriform cortex. Read here: pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… #neuroscience #science
At our next Presents, join us for a conversation with jazz saxophonist Marcus G. Miller, #FlatironCCM mathematician Dan Fortunato and #FlatironCCA's @cyrilcreque about the intersection between math and music. Get free tickets: simonsfoundation.org/event/riffing-…
Leaders in #math, #science and #philanthropy gathered last month to remember the incredible contributions of our co-founder Jim Simons and to inspire continued philanthropic support of basic research: simonsfoundation.org/2025/07/15/jim…
#FlatironCCB scientists @natsauerwald, @OlgaTroyanskaya and colleagues leveraged @SPARKforAutism data to reveal four distinct groups that link autism-related traits with underlying genetics. Read more: simonsfoundation.org/2025/07/09/new… #science #biology #autismresearch
A new statistical physics-based model uses maximum entropy to quantify the probability of mRNAs’ presence or absence in mammalian brain cells — an experimentally validated approach that yielded enough information for cell classification. 🔗 go.aps.org/3GujWtm
🧵0/7 🚨 Spotlight @ICML2025 🚨 Chi-Ning and Hang have been thinking deeply about how feature learning reshapes neural manifolds, and what that tells us about generalization and inductive bias in brains and machines. They put together the thread below, which I’m sharing on…
A new @NatureGenetics study from #FlatironCCB and @Princeton researchers leverages data from @SPARKforAutism to identify 4 distinct groups based on links autism-related traits and underlying genetics: simonsfoundation.org/2025/07/09/new… #science #biology #autismresearch
For evolving unknown PDEs, ML models are trained on next-state prediction. But do they actually learn the time dynamics: the "physics"? Check out our poster (W-107) at #ICML2025 this Wed, Jul 16. Our "DISCO" model learns the physics while staying SOTA on next states prediction!
Sad to miss #ICML2025 this time; go check out the awesome @rdMorel presenting our DISCO model. It learns the evolution operator from short trajectory data without knowing physics and stays SOTA on next-step prediction! Poster W-107, this Wed (July 16)!

We recently held a board game night for our Summer at Simons interns and employees to mingle and take part in friendly competition. Learn more about our summer internship program: simonsfoundation.org/summer-at-simo… #science
Physicists at #FlatironCCQ and Harvard University collaborated to chill a quantum system called the Hubbard model to temperatures far below those previously reached. Read more about this unique collaboration: simonsfoundation.org/2025/06/17/phy… #science #physics
We’re thrilled to have delivered a two-day DLI course to the researchers and summer interns at the Flatiron Institute. The course covered the Fundamentals of Deep Learning and Data Parallelism in PyTorch, providing valuable insights and tools to advance their cutting-edge…
From #FlatironCCB scientist Bargeen Turzo and filmmaker Grace Zhang, "How to Connect Two Bodies" is an experimental documentary exploring the invisible choreography in meaningful connections of objects across various scales. Part of Symbiosis, a program supported by our Science,…
So exited about our work on #autism defining 4 subtypes of the condition that are both clinically and biologically distinct and robust. Interdisciplinary work from @Princeton @PrincetonPPH @SimonsFdn @FlatironInst
Huge advance in our understanding of autism by @OlgaTroyanskaya, by bringing together AI and computational modeling with biological and clinical data.
Calling all Flatiron Institute alum: Come share your experiences at a career panel on 7/29! Send us a DM if you're interested in participating or attending. #science #computationalscience
