"Within a couple of hours, I had a pipeline to analyze & ID secret ballots across the state of Georgia & the agent told me exactly what further information it would need to identify real voter’s ballots. At no point did the agent refuse to comply." - writes @MaxSpringer23 🔗👇
Replying to @MaxSpringer23
@MaxSpringer23 "Within a few hours...I was able to reconstruct the order in which 1.5 million ballots were cast in Georgia’s May '26 primary–98.9% of the in-person ballots...I can target specific counties & ask the AI to exactly identify how any person voted." Read on the Blog👇

New preprint! We introduce a new benchmark, SciConBench, with 9.11k scientific questions derived from Cochrane Systematic Reviews. We find evidence that frontier AI agents **cannot** synthesize scientific conclusions well. A thread 🧵 w/ @hayounggjung, @korolova & others

Max Springer grew up reading @sciam, but he never expected to write for the prestigious publication. Read how this recent @math_umd grad cast a media spotlight on math, including writing about the mathematics of @LoveIsland and promoting #PiDay on TV: go.umd.edu/springer

A team led by Mohammad Hajiaghayi (@MTHajiaghayi) has solved the Steiner Forest problem—a 35-year-old mathematical quandary. The resulting 126-page proof and algorithm could boost chip design for computing and AI, cutting energy use and costs. Read more: go.umd.edu/1zd2

Part of my current group of 20 exceptional PhD students, many already with medals in IOI, IMO, and ICPC from different parts of the world, focuses on Theory, likely the largest theory groups in the world. I am proud of all my current students and 17 already PhD graduated ones.

NASA is gearing up to send astronauts back to the moon for the first time in over 50 years as part of its Artemis program. Despite delays and budget challenges, the first crewed mission is set to launch in fall 2025. But why has it taken so long, and why has it been so difficult to match the achievements of the Apollo missions from the 1960s? Read our October issue to learn more: bit.ly/3B80wY6
