Society of Fellows
Founded in 2014, the Simons Society of Fellows is a community of scholars that encourages intellectual interactions across disciplines and across research centers in the New York City area.
Senior Fellows are distinguished scientists based in New York City. Junior Fellows are outstanding young scientists who receive support from the foundation for three years to conduct independent research at an institution of higher learning in New York City, with no teaching obligations.

If you hear someone beat a drum, and you know the frequencies of the sounds it makes, can you work backward to figure out the shape of the drum? This intriguing question kicked off decades of mathematical inquiry.
The influx of data from Gaia's latest data release (DR3), has enabled astronomers such as CCA's Adrian Price-Whelan to uncover critical new knowledge about the Milky Way galaxy's movements.
After a three-year shutdown for repairs and upgrades, the collider has resumed shooting protons around its 17-mile electromagnetic underground racetrack. In early July, the collider will begin crashing these particles together to create sparks of primordial energy.
