Measuring motion + climate education + mini vacuum pump

The Symposium for Advancing Climate Education asserts a role for higher education in preparing every graduate to meet global challenges with courage.

The device would be a key component of a portable mass spectrometer that could help monitor pollutants, perform medical diagnoses in remote areas, or test Martian soil.

The event was spotted in infrared data — also a first — suggesting further searches in this band could turn up more such bursts.

MIT ReACT and the Innovation Leadership Bootcamp “helped me realize that I can do big things and be a part of big things.”

President Sally Kornbluth discusses her goals for her tenure as president of MIT. “We are at an inflection point in many societal problems, particularly climate change but a host of others, where MIT can really make an impact on the world. I hope when people look five years, 10 years, 20 years down the line they can look back and say, ‘MIT really helped move the needle on these problems,’” says Kornbluth. “I [also] really hope MIT remains a leader in tapping into the broadest range of human talent. I think having a diverse mindset, having the contributions of people from every walk of life to solve these important problems, I want that to be a legacy of the tenure.”
