We're proud to announce that, after 14 years as a Trustee, Cristián Samper (@bezosearthfund.org) has been elected Chair of our Board of Trustees. The Board also elected quantum physicist Mark Jackson (@quantinuum.bsky.social) as a new Trustee. Read More: https://bit.ly/4vJpx3e

Some #WWII artifacts sit behind glass; this one still sits under coats. An #OSRD label ties this unassuming coat rack back to when our D.C. office became the command center for American science under Carnegie President Vannevar Bush. #Carnegie125 🔗 carnegiescience.edu/object-13-osrd-coat-rack

If you've ever had to memorize the chemical intricacies of photosynthesis, imagine trying to map it out from scratch. bit.ly/4e5wsNP Object No. 12 in our #Carnegie125 series. 🌿

This oil painting of Herman Spoehr watched over Carnegie's Plant Biology library at Stanford for decades—a fitting post for the man who spent 40 years watching over American #photosynthesis research. Object No. 12 in our #Carnegie125 series: https://bit.ly/4e5wsNP

To learn what distant 🌟or 🪐 are made of, astronomers read hidden signals in their light. From IR to UV, every molecule leaves a signature. It takes the whole range to read the universe. This month, let's celebrate the full spectrum—in our cosmos & community! 🌈 carnegiescience.edu/universe-color

Meet a scientist who treats the ocean like a giant, slow bioreactor. 🌊🦠 This #WorldOceansDay, learn how Carnegie's Emily Zakem studies the invisible marine microbes that help drive the ocean's carbon cycle and shape Earth's climate. 👉 carnegiescience.edu/meet-emily-zakem

🌊 Happy #WorldOceansDay! The ocean shapes our weather, our climate, and nearly all life on Earth. But here's a question the experts can't agree on: where did all this water come from?👇 https://carnegiescience.edu/where-did-earth-get-its-water

For Jeffrey Dukes, fieldwork looks like a 30-year conversation with a thousand-acre preserve in the California foothills. #Fieldwork #Ecology Read the story: carnegiescience.edu/what-place-remembers

Today in #AstronomyNews, a team led by Carnegie's Andrew Newman used #JWST and gravitational lensing 🔍 to peer into the heart of an early-universe galaxy and directly measure its dormant black hole—a cosmic first! Full Press Release: bit.ly/3S4TbAR
