Simons Collaborations bring together groups of outstanding scientists to address topics of fundamental scientific importance in which a significant new development has created a novel area for exploration in an established field.
The Simons Collaboration on the Origins of Life aimed to advance our understanding of the processes that led to the emergence of life through collaborative, multidisciplinary research. The collaboration comprised investigators and postdoctoral fellows in diverse fields, whose research addressed critical questions regarding origins.
Learn MoreThe Simons Collaboration on Ocean Processes and Ecology (SCOPE) aimed to advance our understanding of the biology, biogeochemistry, ecology and evolution of microbial processes at a representative ocean benchmark, Station ALOHA, located in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre (NPSG) and at transition zones on the edges of the NPSG. SCOPE studied the ocean ecosystem in…
