I love reading about the experiences of our international scholars.

The award is such an amazing opportunity for an early career professional to travel abroad, meet peers, and present at a new conference.

At TMS, we talk a lot about cross-disciplinary collaboration & #TMSSpecialtyCongress embodies that.
Attending 1 specialized meeting while getting access to 2–3 others is a seriously underrated way to find new research applications & spark partnerships that launch future projects.

[TMS @TMSSociety]

What a way to start the day at #TMSSpecialtyCongress!

Thank you to Stefano Curtarolo (Duke University) for an engaging plenary presentation, followed by outstanding keynote talks from Markus Buehler (MIT) for #AIM2026, Mohsen Seifi (ASTM International) for #RQSD2026, and Cem Tasan (MIT) for #HEA2026.

From AI-driven materials discovery to advanced manufacturing and high-entropy alloys, this morning's sessions sparked thoughtful discussions and exciting new ideas. An inspiring start to Tuesday!

I've made a hobby out of reading comments about @mbohnert

Allow me to present a new favourite.

As his wife, I'll take full credit for any style or wardrobe-related compliments.

He can keep all the comments about how smart/qualified/insightful he is.

So much happened at TMS2026—it’s hard to fit it all into one week (or one article).

From packed technical sessions and hands-on workshops to networking events, student competitions, and the launch of new Society leadership, this year’s #TMSAnnualMeeting truly had something for everyone.

The June issue of JOM brings it all together with a look at the people, moments, and milestones that defined TMS2026—and what’s next for the community.

Excellent read from @taylordsparks in this month's JOM: The Magazine.

Definitely worth checking out the story here: https://t.co/hPmvvNbbrx

[TMS @TMSSociety]

Great science deserves great communication. In this JOM: The Magazine article, Taylor Sparks shares practical, experience‑tested advice on how scientists and engineers can make their work more engaging, clear, and memorable—from designing better figures to telling stronger research stories.
Inspired by his TMS plenary lecture “Making Materials Go Viral,” this piece shows that compelling scientific communication isn’t innate—it’s a learnable skill. https://t.co/ZDrvSuaLeQ

@mbohnert was once again a guest on the Ukraine: The Latest podcast.

Having my husband referred to as "the man, the legend" by @FrancisDearnley was unexpected but it's certainly raised Michael's cachet around the house.

[Ashley Bohnert @Ashley_AAE]

I'm grateful to work with an exceptional group of talented, diligent & collaborative colleagues.

From marketing the #TMSAnnualMeeting to ensuring a great onsite experience for attendees, they make it work & do it all with a smile.

There's no one I'd rather have on my team.

[TMS @TMSSociety]

A sincere thank you to everyone who participated in this year’s #TMSAnnualMeeting — presenters, attendees, volunteers, partners, and the entire materials community. Your contributions, insights, and enthusiasm made #TMS2026 an exceptional week of learning, collaboration, and connection.

From technical sessions and poster presentations to networking events and division gatherings, the energy and expertise you brought helped shape a truly impactful meeting.

🌟 We can't wait to see you at #TMS2027 in Orlando!

[Ashley Bohnert @Ashley_AAE]

Loving the new low cost option to add on a dedicated professional development course to your #TMSAnnualMeeting experience!

[TMS @TMSSociety]

Sunday at #TMS2026 kicked off with a full day of Professional Development courses, where attendees built new skills and explored emerging tools shaping the future of materials science.

From life cycle assessment and hydrogen in metallurgy to phase-field modeling, advanced characterization techniques, CALPHAD + machine learning, additive manufacturing, and career building, these hands-on workshops gave participants practical insights they can bring back to their research, labs, and organizations.

A great start to the week of learning and collaboration at TMS2026!

[TMS @TMSSociety]

The 2026 TMS Materials Bowl brought fast-paced trivia, team spirit, and plenty of cheering on Sunday afternoon! 🧠🏆

Congrats to our winners:
🥇 @UF
🥈 @IowaStateU

The fun continued at the Student Networking Reception, where students, professors, and faculty connected over light food and great conversation. #TMS2026 #TMSAnnualMeeting

Never thought I'd be sitting here reading about cruise missiles but here we are.
Excellent writing, @mbohnert

https://t.co/L1jB7JpZTW

[Michael Bohnert @mbohnert]

My latest piece with @defense_news contrasting Ukraine-Russia drone warfare with Israel's dominance of Iran via airpower and how cruise missiles and similar strike drones have consistently outperformed when applied regardless of other strategies.
