Congratulations to Texas A&M Mathematics' Yvette Hester '89 and Texas A&M Chemistry's Travis McCartney, who have been honored by Texas A&M University and The Association of Former Students with the 2022 President's Meritorious Service Award, Texas A&M's highest recognition for staff.

Scientists within the Collider Detector at Fermilab collaboration have achieved the most precise measurement to date of the mass of the W boson, one of nature’s force-carrying particles -- a result that shows significant tension with the value expected based on the Standard Model of particle physics.

Dr. Reinhard Laubenbacher, Dean's Professor of Systems Medicine and director of the Laboratory for Systems Medicine at the University of Florida, will visit the Texas A&M campus April 12 to deliver the 2022 Sue Geller Undergraduate Lecture, the fifth in an annual series intended to educate and inspire students in Texas A&M Mathematics.

The Trotter Prize and Endowed Lecture Series, set this year for Wednesday, Apr. 6, in Rudder Theatre, seeks to illuminate connections between science and religion, often viewed in academia as non-overlapping if not rival world views.

Harvard University chemist, National Academy of Sciences member, and current Kavli Foundation president Cynthia Friend has been selected to receive the 2022 F.A. Cotton Medal for Excellence in Chemical Research, presented jointly by Texas A&M Chemistry and the Texas A&M Section of the American Chemical Society to honor the late Texas A&M chemist Albert Cotton.

Texas A&M Science takes great pride in celebrating three of its finest — Gregory Fuller '76, James Lalonde '87 and Carl McAfee '90 — as the college's most recent inductees into its Academy of Distinguished Former Students.

On April 1, Texas A&M Science will celebrate some of its best and brightest -- three classes of inductees into its Academy of Distinguished Former Students, more than 200 current scholarship recipients, and the many generous donors who make each gift possible.

Texas A&M junior biology major Joseph Chen ’23 has been named a 2022 Goldwater Scholar by the Goldwater Scholarship Foundation in recognition of outstanding academic achievement and research potential -- one of 54 Texas A&M students selected to date for the prestigious honor since the initial scholarship was issued in 1989.

Two Texas A&M Science graduate programs along with four specialty programs are listed among the nation's top 10 for public institutions in the U.S. News & World Report's "2023 Best Graduate Schools" report, the publication's first national survey of graduate programs in the sciences since 2019.

Three College of Science faculty are among the university's 24 recipients of the 2022 Distinguished Achievement Award recognizing exemplary efforts in teaching, research, student relations, graduate mentoring, administration, staff, and extension/outreach/continuing education/professional development.

Inspired by his passion for science and entrepreneurship, Texas A&M chemistry graduate and 2002 Academy of Distinguished Former Students honoree Dr. Jan Troup '74 established the world's first company to offer commercial X-ray diffraction services. Now, he's creating a planned gift to support innovative students and faculty in Texas A&M Science.

Congratulations to 2001 Texas A&M chemistry Ph.D. graduate and new faculty member Lane Baker, who has been appointed as the inaugural holder of the Dr. Carl D. McAfee '90 Endowed Chair in Analytical Chemistry at Texas A&M.
