The Shaw Prize

Seeing the world through mathematical eyes, you will discover the influence of mathematics in every corner. From the intricate patterns of nature, to the structural foundation of architecture, and the precision in technology, mathematics weaves its magic throughout our lives. Share your discoveries with us! #theshawprize #shawprize #shawlaureate2017 #mathematicalsciences #mathematicsiseverywhere #mathematicsweaves #architecture #influenceofmathematics

Do you know that Professor Shing-Shen Chern, the first Shaw Laureate in Mathematical Sciences, was the PhD supervisor of Professor Shing-Tung Yau, who himself received the Shaw Prize last year? Professor Yau, reflecting on his mentor Professor Chern’s impact, emphasized not only the mathematical knowledge he acquired but also the profound encouragement he felt from seeing a Chinese mathematician achieving prominence. It’s the power of sharing knowledge - to inspire, and to empower. #shawprize #theshawprize #shawlaureates #mathematicalsciences #mathematicians #transmissionofknowledge #inspire #empower

The Shaw Prize in Mathematical Sciences 2019 was awarded to Professor Michel Talagrand. Following his recognition with the Shaw Prize, Professor Michel Talagrand further solidified his legacy by achieving another remarkable feat this year, being awarded the prestigious Abel Prize. Congratulations once again! #theshawprize #shawprize #mathematicalsciences #shawlaureate2019 #abelprize2024 #congratulations #micheltalagrand #striveandachieve

This Easter, let’s crack open the story of Dolly the Sheep - a story not about easter eggs, but the egg cell, where human life begins. For many years, Professors Ian Wilmut and Keith Campbell worked together, using sheep as the model, to understand the physiology of the egg and how laboratory manipulations can improve our knowledge of the development from egg to birth. In a groundbreaking achievement in 1996, Dolly was born through the process of nuclear transfer.  Dolly was not the first mammal to be cloned, but the first that was cloned from an adult cell. Dolly’s birth opened up a new world of possibilities in science and medicine, making monumental contributions to potential new approaches for the treatment of human diseases and the improvement of agriculture.

Congratulations to Professor Michel Talagrand, Shaw Laureate in Mathematical Sciences 2019, for being awarded the 2024 Abel Prize! He was recognised for his groundbreaking contributions to probability theory and functional analysis, with outstanding applications in mathematical physics and statistics. #theshawprize #shawprize #congratulations #abelprize2024 #mathematicalsciences #shawlaureate2019

On #WorldSleepDay, let's honor the brilliance behind our sleep cycles. In 2013, the Shaw Prize in Life Science & Medicine was awarded to laureates Hall, Rosbash & Young for their groundbreaking work on circadian rhythms. Their research illuminates the intricate dance of sleep within our cells, guiding us towards better sleep health. Here's to the pioneers making our nights restful and our days vibrant! Embrace a life enriched by science—prioritize your sleep. 🌙💡 #ShawPrize #SleepScience #HealthyLiving #theshawprize #worldsleepday #lifescienceandmedicine

On this #PiDay, the Shaw Prize medal is our π: a symbol of the circular journey of discovery. It's a tribute to the laureates whose work in science and mathematics spirals ever outward, expanding human knowledge. 🥧✨ #ShawPrize #CelebrateScience #InfiniteDiscovery #PiDay2024 #mathematicalsciences #theshawprize
