Congratulations to AI2050 Senior Fellow Dr. Kelly Chibale for being honored as a Distinguished International Fellow by the @astmh.bsky.social, recognizing his contributions to tropical medicine, chemistry, drug discovery, and global health.

This Halloween, step into the world of weird science.

Explore AI2050 Fellow Sam Kriegman’s work on xenobots — tiny living machines built from biological cells and the algorithms that invent them .

Our founder @wendyschmidt.bsky.social made @forbes.com's 2025 Sustainability Leaders list. Highlighting how Schmidt Sciences, @schmidtocean.bsky.social and @schmidtfellows.bsky.social advance climate research and discovery through interdisciplinary programs for global benefit: buff.ly/LUokevC

Our AI in Science Postdoctoral Fellows took part in a hands-on workshop focused on transforming their research into compelling stories. We love learning about the exciting work our grantees are doing—and growing together through science communication training. 📍 @utoronto.ca

In aviation, safety is built in from the start. @stanford.edu's Mykel Kochenderfer brings that mindset to AI—stress-testing systems for trust & reliability.

#AIAppreciationDay

This collaborative effort advances our understanding of ocean carbon cycling and ecosystem resilience across scales—from animal guts to a global ocean—through integrated observations, modeling, and platform development. OBVI connects 60+ researchers across 11 countries through five major projects.

We're is proud to support scientists conducting critical research aboard the @schmidtocean.bsky.social research vessel, R/V Falkor (too), as part of the Ocean Biogeochemistry Virtual Institute (OBVI).

Over the past century, the Ocean has absorbed approximately one-third of anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions. This vital carbon sequestration function, combined with its role as a heat reservoir, places marine systems at the heart of global climate dynamics.

As World Ocean Month comes to a close, Schmidt Sciences recognizes the Ocean's fundamental role as Earth's climate regulator and we're working toward tackling a critical question: Can the ocean continue absorbing carbon at current rates?

#WorldOceanMonth 🧵

Schmidt Sciences Program Scientist Thomas Wevers recently delivered a talk at the European Space Astronomy Center in Madrid about one of the universe's most dramatic events: what happens when a star meets a black hole.

Happy #WorldOceanDay 🌊

Today we celebrate the ocean that sustains all life on Earth. From the smallest marine organisms to the vast currents that shape our climate, our ocean is a source of endless wonder and discovery.

Should we bring people back to life...digitally?

AI advancements allow companies to create simulations of the dead using digital data. This “digital afterlife industry” promises a form of immortality, but at what cost?
