In 2022, Harvard University mathematician Barry Mazur was awarded the Chern Medal, which recognizes outstanding lifelong achievements in #math.

The 2026 Chern Medal winner will be announced at #ICM2026 in July. Register to attend this prestigious international math conference at link in bio.

Our newest #InfiniteSums math ambassadors interview is with artist Jiabao Li (@jia.bao.li). Together with mathematician Fumiko Futamura (@f_futamura) and @fuseboxlive's Ron Berry (@ronberryjr), Li developed Math Playground, a series of climbable sculptures based on complex #math models.
