Curiosity lights the trail to discovery. At MIT, people are pursuing big questions every day. And they’re finding their way to big breakthroughs.

[Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) @MIT]

Science is Curiosity on a Mission: It includes all of us who ask "why" and make it our mission to find out. These are the discoveries that move the country forward. The pursuit of ideas that seemed impossible until they weren’t. #CuriosityOnAMission

In the 1950s, a superpower competition spurred our country to invest billions in science and become the world’s leader in scientific exploration. Today it’s gutting research. This piece argues we must stop the “duck & cover” and love American science leadership again.

Helpful quick summary of what’s at stake for American scientific leadership if government has its way. https://t.co/yvT2t7GRkJ

[MITCommsVP @MITCommsVP]

Terrific analysis by MIT’s most recent past president about the importance of investing in science, especially in a time of global competition for tech leadership. https://t.co/hc3CrKhYBq

One of the best short summaries I’ve seen of what’s at stake for America in the battle for the future of higher ed. https://t.co/s1vu1gHt8Z

Congratulations to all three professors for their commitment to rigorous, long-term research that demonstrates the value of institutions that put people first.

Fantastic news! MIT’s Daron Acemoglu and Simon Johnson have won the Nobel Prize in economics, for “studies of how institutions are formed and affect prosperity”. Congratulations! They share the prize with James Robinson of the University of Chicago.

Another example of MIT delivering on climate: Very cool advancements at the “nanoscale” (a billionth of a meter) could soon result in far more energy-efficient computer processors. https://t.co/QHRXD6ZlSn

1/ Setting the record straight: Pre-vaccine in 2020, when Sec. Pompeo's staff inquired about a speech at MIT, we could not accept to host because of our then policies on Covid – no guests and no gatherings greater than 10 people.

[MITCommsVP @MITCommsVP]

We have set the record straight on this repeatedly in the past.

[Mike Pompeo @mikepompeo]

As secretary of state, MIT canceled my campus speech about the CCP because it “risked offending” Chinese students.

Now these schools justify rampant antisemitism because of a "commitment" to free speech?

Excellent news! MIT’s Moungi Bawendi has won a share of the Nobel Prize in chemistry for “the discovery and synthesis of quantum dots.” Congratulations to Prof. Bawendi for this profound honor. 👏
