Thank you Peter Girguis and yes I love my nerdy tee-shirts

Congratulations to Dr. Gisele Andree of Catherine Drennan on successfully defending her PhD thesis. Woohoo. MIT Chemistry MIT Chemistry Alliance for Diversity & Inclusion

I got to work with some really awesome people! And now our work is out! We show a recently developed method to measure how electrically conductive materials are when they're heated to >5000 K, or subjected to almost 1 million atmospheres of pressure!

Science education is one of Douglas Emlen's biggest priorities, and he leverages the parallels between animal and military weapons as a hook to engage audiences who might not pick up a biology book otherwise. #evolutionarybiology #scienceeducation #NAS161 youtube.com/watch?v=e65EvB…

The lab of #NASmember Jennifer Elisseeff made a breakthrough in regenerative medicine when they engineered hydrogels to modulate stem cell function and designed testable tissue engineering systems. Watch her Research Briefing to learn more: ow.ly/oQT350Rq01k #NAS161

According to #NASmember Jennifer Elisseeff, rebuilding tissues takes the 'right' balance of cells and connections. #NAS161 ow.ly/Lm9q50RpZ8M

Thrilling to be National Academy of Sciences on a beautiful spring day to watch Nancy Hopkins receive this award!! Her acceptance speech was her usual combination of humor, wisdom, and grace.
I am honored to have been able to tell her extraordinary story.

Great to be joined by Dr. Fauci on this National Academy panel today

I got emotional watching Nancy Hopkins receive the NAS public welfare medal. The world needs more people with the courage to speak up and more people with the courage to listen.

Congratulations Gang Chen of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), newly inducted #NASmember ! #NAS161 #engineering

Fantastic talk by Jennifer Elisseeff

The people that lit the National Cathedral last night are 🔥!

Congratulations Jennifer Elisseeff of Johns Hopkins University, newly inducted #NASmember ! #NAS161 #engineering

In her #NAS161 President's Address, Marcia McNutt notes that in 4 years, the readership of Issues in Science and Technology, a journal of the NAS and Arizona State University, has more than quadrupled, providing a growing audience with leading policy conversations on AI, biosecurity, and more. ow.ly/qTeI50RpW3K
