K.C. Cole

KC Cole writes about math, physics, and social issues, often intertwined, for most major U.S. magazines and newspapers. She also organizes an art/science/politics/whatnot series called Categorically Not!—which she’ll be bringing to IAS in April. The theme of the event, as well as her research, will be real and imagined boundaries, limits, and horizons within and between disciplines; the work represents a sequel of sorts to her most recent book, a biography/memoir of her mentor, the late Frank Oppenheimer.
