#Dennis #Gaitsgory has dedicated the past 30 years to proving the #geometric #Langlands #conjecture.
Over the decades, he and his collaborators have built an extensive body of work, forming the foundation of the new proof.
Although the geometric Langlands program is highly abstract, it forges deep connections between different mathematical structures
and has the potential to drive breakthroughs in theoretical physics, number theory, and even quantum computing.
The #Breakthrough #Prize was established in 2012 by Sergey Brin (Google), Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook), and others to recognize outstanding researchers for their groundbreaking discoveries.
It is awarded in the fields of life sciences, physics, and mathematics.
In 2016, the Breakthrough Prize in Life Sciences was awarded to #Svante #Pääbo from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig,
and in 2022, to #Anthony #Hyman from the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics in Dresden.

Fear is a liar. It will try to convince you that you’re not ready, that you’re not good enough, that you’ll fail. But here’s the truth—fear only has power if you listen to it.

Keep going. Even when it’s uncomfortable. Even when the doubt creeps in. Every step forward weakens fear’s grip.

You’re stronger than you think. Keep pushing. Keep believing. Keep moving.

*Me: I don't think I've grieved the fact I can't go back to the church.

Her: And you don't *have* to go back. It has already taken so much from your family.

Me: it gave my dad 2 heart attacks. It gave my mom a stroke.

Her: And what did it do to you?

Me: [crying] It took my dad from me.
