Physicist Christopher Stubbs joins Anthropic's Long-Term Benefit Trust

Dr. Christopher Stubbs, an experimental physicist, former Dean of Science at Harvard University, and co-discoverer of the accelerating expansion of the universe, has joined Anthropic's Long-Term Benefit Trust. He brings decades of expertise in observational cosmology and precision measurement, as well as experience advising the US government on national security and arms control. Stubbs is the Samuel C. Moncher Professor of Physics and of Astronomy at Harvard and was the inaugural project scientist for the Vera C. Rubin Observatory. He is also a member of JASON, a scientific advisory group. Anthropic is a Public Benefit Corporation, and the Trust, which can appoint a majority of Anthropic's board, is designed to balance commercial growth with public benefit. Daniela Amodei, Anthropic's co-founder and President, praised Stubbs's intellectual honesty and rigor, while Neil Buddy Shah, Chair of the Trust, highlighted his integrity and leadership in complex scientific endeavors. Stubbs, the Trust's first physicist, joins Shah, Richard Fontaine, and Ben Bernanke.
