The State of String Theory
Brian Greene hosted a discussion with Edward Witten, Andrew Strominger and David Gross to discuss the state of string theory. Topics were covered from black holes to AdS/CFT, as well as a historical discussion of string theory since the late 60s. It would have been nice to hear more about M-theory and F-theory models, but alas strings were center stage in this gathering.

M-theory & Math 2023
The M-theory and Mathematics workshop (2023) at NYUAD was a great success. The quality of talks was excellent, especially with further progress on mysterious duality, K-theory and Cohomotopy (given hypothesis H).
Cheers to the organizers H. Sati, U. Schreiber and the Center for Quantum and Topological Systems. Indeed, the quest for the underlying mathematics of M-theory continues.

In Memory of John Conway
John Conway, the legendary mathematician, has passed. Conway will be remembered for his deep work in pure mathematics, especially in cellular automata and Monstrous moonshine. When asked about one of his greatest life’s mysteries, he expressed his desire for the 196883 representation of the Monster to be properly understood. The quest goes on, and hopefully, through physics this mystery can be solved.
