On Jan. 8, Texas A&M served as the host site for judging for the eighth annual U.S. Crystal Growing Competition, a national contest that challenges teams of K-12 students and educators to test their scientific abilities in determining who can grow the biggest, most beautiful crystals while experiencing a bit of the beauty and symmetry intrinsic to the field of chemistry.

In the spirit of all things scientific, occasionally explosive and all-around inspirational, the Texas A&M Department of Chemistry is gearing up to host a virtual edition of its long-standing Chemistry Open House and Science Exploration Gallery, set for Saturday, October 16, beginning at 10 a.m.

A team of physicists and learning scientists at Texas A&M and the University of Texas at Austin surveyed more than 100 undergraduate and graduate students involved in presenting multiple physics outreach programs at Texas A&M, determining that students gain as much from their experiences as their audiences do, namely positive effects on their identities as science professionals that can offer invaluable insight into their persistence and retention in STEM and preparation for 21st century careers in science and other areas.

A worldwide audience can virtually explore the past, present and future of material transformation along with its potential in green chemistry and sustainability, thanks to a new Google Arts & Culture-featured exhibit developed by the Science History Institute in partnership with Texas A&M's National Science Foundation-funded Center for the Mechanical Control of Chemistry.

Two Bryan-College Station teachers are among a dozen nationwide who have been selected by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and its chief scientific agency, the Agricultural Research Service (ARS), through the Texas A&M Center for Mathematics and Science Education (CMSE) to receive stipends in recognition of their work with the USDA Future Scientists Program, a 27-year collaboration between the USDA/ARS and the CMSE.
