"My simple objective is to get more sterile flies."

.@USDA Senior Advisor for New World Screwworm Preparedness John Bellinger is focused on one goal: expanding sterile fly production and exploring every available option to strengthen our response.

"We are going to turn over every stone to find more sterile flies. We have to be ready next spring. And that's the bottom line."

[Governor Abbott Press Office @GovAbbottPress]

Governor Abbott today directed @TDEM to activate the State Emergency Operations Center to Level II (Escalated Response) to support the state’s New World Screwworm response.

The Governor has activated the full use of all state resources to respond to this threat.

On June 6, 1944, James Earl Rudder '32 successfully led his men up the cliffs at Pointe Du Hoc as part of the D-Day invasion of Normandy.

Rudder would later become the 16th President of @TAMU, laying the groundwork for its transformation from a small, all-male military school to the premier institution of higher education it is today.

This spring, a group of @maysbusiness students directed $200,000 to 12 Brazos Valley nonprofits doing some of the hardest, most overlooked work in our community.

By treating generosity as a skill to be practiced, the Strategic Philanthropy Course prepares students to lead with purpose long after graduation and strengthens the local community in the process.

Previous hurricanes have wiped out entire ecosystems along the Texas coast.

An @AggiesByTheSea researcher is utilizing supercomputing to generate a 3D model of the Gulf that can simulate a full year of ocean conditions in 24 hours, turning hard lessons from past storms into better protection for the coast: https://t.co/49t4fWq6iB

It's the official start of Atlantic Hurricane Season.🌀

Texans, it’s time to get ready y’all. Hurricane season runs June 1st through November 30th.

[Texas A&M University @TAMU]

Texas A&M mourns the recent passing of Maj. Gen. (Ret.) Thomas G. Darling ’54, a decorated military hero and beloved former Commandant of the @AggieCorps. His 33-year Air Force career included more than 7,000 flight hours and numerous prestigious honors. As Commandant, he left an indelible mark on the university, and his legacy lives on through the Sanders Corps of Cadets Visitor Center he championed, the Darling Corps Recruiting Company named in his honor, and the countless cadets whose lives he shaped during and beyond his tenure.

He dedicated his post-military life to ensuring cadets had every opportunity to succeed, establishing academic support programs, formalizing recruiting efforts and initiating the Corps Hall of Honor program. General Darling was a true Aggie in every sense of the word, and his legacy will continue to shape the Corps for generations to come. Here.

Fredericksburg peaches are going to be much harder to find this summer.

A warm winter followed by a hard freeze in March wiped out much of the Hill Country peach crop, impacting apples and berries too.

An @Agrilife expert recently discussed the science behind the shortage with @KXAN_News: https://t.co/5f1nSaiGgi

The first full school year under Texas's cell phone ban is wrapping up, and the early data is encouraging.

Everything is bigger in Texas, and that includes our controlled detonations.

The Detonation Research Test Facility is a nearly 500-foot steel tube where researchers ignite gas and track the shockwave as it builds from a small flame to a full detonation reaching Mach 5, roughly 3,800 miles per hour.

@PopSci says this facility could be used for everything from aerospace engineering research to unlocking secrets hidden in the history of the cosmos: https://t.co/4dBkR3cQtt

Texas roads are getting stronger thanks to robotics built at The Texas A&M University System.

The @TTITAMU developed AMAZE, a patented system that runs asphalt tests from start to finish with zero human help, catching weak materials before they ever hit the road.

By catching problem materials early, the system helps roads last longer and saves Texans millions every year.

Hurricane Preparedness Week is a reminder that Texas may face multiple hazards when the next storm arrives.

Risks include flooding, wind, and tornadoes- across large areas of the state.
