Not every day you get to have lunch with a Nobel Laureate and 2 Fields Medallists, but I love that this can happen at @ETH_en… Thank you for the inspiring conversation @AFigalli @DidierQueloz @VillaniCedric, I hope to see you again very soon! @FieldsInstitute @NobelPrize

Read the article in @QuantaMagazine about the latest work of Alessio Figalli (@AFigalli), Joaquim Serra and Xavier Ros ​Oton (@ros_xavi). @ETH_en @UniBarcelona
Imagine that ice is melting in water. Will it ever melt into the shape of a snowflake? If it does, how long will that snowflake last? Mathematicians now know the answer. @MordechaiRorvig reports. quantamagazine.org/mathemati…

Francesco Maggi was gold doing the intro for the #FieldsMedalSymposium. Brilliant summary of @AFigalli 's work. Bravo, best for the job.
We're thoroughly enjoying these descriptions and illustrations of Alessio Figalli's career and work on optimal mass transport, presented by Francesco Maggi. Learned anything new? Let us know! #FieldsMedalSymposium

Monday evening watching the #FieldsMedalSymposium and the nice interview with @FryRsquared finally asking @AFigalli all the questions that we always meant to ask, like "HOW IS IT POSSIBLE TO COMPLETE THE PHD IN 8 MONTHS?"😂 #phdlife #mathschat youtube.com/watch?v=au2IFRKe…

Replying to @AFigalli
@AFigalli expressing what we've all experienced in the pandemic: interacting with students or collaborators online is just not the same, but we do what we can. He too agrees the virus will not just go away. #vHLF20.

As @AFigalli explained, mathematics makes advances by a combination of curiosity driven research, and problem solving for applications. Both are needed. @ESOF_eu
This morning, a great session at @ESOF_eu with the mathematician, Fields Medalist @AFigalli from @ETH. He explained the very wide range of applications of the concept of optimal transport -- crystallography, meteorology, economics, imaging, artificial intelligence etc.

"Moving masses cheaply", this is how Fields medalist @AFigalli summarized the goal of his #mathematics interests in his keynote at #ESOF2020 . But cartoonist @Leo_Ortolani warned him that pushing the boundaries of the field can have consequences🤣
