Texas A&M is gearing up to host hundreds of students and their families Saturday, Feb. 22, in the John R. Blocker Building for some free math and stat-inspired fun as part of the 17th annual Texas A&M Mathematics and Statistics Fair.

Texas A&M Distinguished Professor of Mathematics Rostislav Grigorchuk is among internationally elite company as a 2019 recipient of the prestigious Humboldt Research Award recognizing lifetime research achievement.

University of Minnesota McKnight Presidential Professor of Mathematics Douglas Arnold will visit the Texas A&M campus today (Jan. 21) to deliver the inaugural Ewing Lecture in Computational Science, an annual event honoring the late Texas A&M Distinguished Professor of Mathematics and longtime Vice President for Research Richard Ewing.

Women studying physics across Texas and nearby states will be at Texas A&M University this weekend for a three-day, nationwide conference highlighting the powerful opportunity inherent in a physics degree.

Texas A&M construction science professor and Center for Health Systems and Design Fellow Dr. Zofia Rybkowski will present the 2019-2020 Ethel Ashworth-Tsutsui Memorial Lecture, set for noon on Friday, January 17, in the Langford Architecture Center.

'Tis the season to celebrate for Texas A&M biologists Richard Gomer and Darrell Pilling, whose biotechnology company Promedior Inc. sold in mid-November to Swiss drug maker Roche for $1.4 billion dedicated to the global life-saving fight against fibrotic disease.

Texas A&M physicist Rupak Mahapatra has been appointed as director of research engagement for The Texas A&M University System National Laboratories Office (NLO), where he works to increase engagement between researchers throughout the Texas A&M System and all U.S. Department of Energy-affiliated laboratories — Los Alamos, in particular.

Congratulations to Texas A&M chemist Karen Wooley, one of 12 faculty-researchers from Texas-based institutions elected as 2019 National Academy of Inventors Fellows, the highest professional distinction accorded solely to academic inventors.

Texas A&M statistics major Alex Peters ’21 thought he was like every other young person in college — hungry to learn, hungry for adventure and hungry to embark on a major life milestone. Then he realized that some of his peers were just plain hungry, prompting him to get involved in First Year Eats and a yearlong research project to determine how adequate food intake can affect academic retention and GPR in freshmen.

In research reported in the "Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences," Texas A&M biologists have found genetic evidence linking circadian clock genes and clock-regulated molecular pathways to the Monarch butterfly's uncanny ability to sense changes in day length that trigger their annual migration and the reproductive dormancy they exhibit during it — a clock-controlled seasonal response the biologists prove is clearly connected to the vitamin A pathway in the iconic insect's brain.

Thanks and gig 'em to The Association of Former Students for contributing $75,000 toward the Texas A&M College of Science during the past academic year -- whoop! Read about the people, programs and progress that generous support helps make possible in the cover story from the November-December 2019 issue of "Texas Aggie" magazine.

Texas A&M mathematicians Ken Dykema and Matthew Papanikolas have earned selection to the 2020 class of American Mathematical Society Fellows in recognition of international excellence in mathematical science and service.
