Quanta Magazine reporter Erica Klarreich explores how incoming professor and postdoctoral fellow Lisa Piccirillo solved a long-standing question about whether the Conway knot is a slice of a higher-dimensional knot. Piccirillo’s proof “fits into the mold of short, surprising proofs of elusive results that researchers in the area are able to quickly absorb, admire and seek to generalize,” says Joshua Greene, a professor at BC.
