NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) is celebrating its 7th anniversary this year! TESS was developed and built by members of the @MITKavli and has made exciting discoveries beyond its primary mission. Learn more: bit.ly/456MRNn @NASA

This year, the Kavli Institute of NanoScience @TUDelft celebrated its 20th anniversary. This milestone was observed during the annual Kavli Day, honoring the history of outstanding nanoscience achievements and continued partnership between The Kavli Foundation and TU Delft.

2025 Kavli-Grass Fellow Kyra Schapiro is spending this summer in the Grass Lab (@grassfoundation) understanding how environmental factors shape shell patterning in Zebra nerite snails and how the nervous system might control this process. Learn more here: bit.ly/4llySJ7

Long standing issues coupled with recent funding disruptions have led to growing challenges in training graduate students and postdoctoral scholars to be the STEM workforce of the future. We are delighted to sponsor @theNASEM's national summit which will highlight changes in…

Congratulations to @KavliPrize Laureate Conny Aerts for her appointment to the governing body of the @ERC_Research The European Research Council (ERC) is composed of 22 distinguished scientists and scholars representing the European scientific community. Their main role is to…

We are thrilled to announce that Robert (Bob) Conn, President Emeritus of The @KavliFoundation and Dean and Professor Emeritus at @UCSD’s Jacobs School of Engineering, has been named the recipient of the 2025 Vannevar Bush Award, the National Science Board’s highest honor.…

A central theme in quantum mechanics is that particles confined in nano sized boxes do fascinating things! We salute scientists who, driven by curiosity and ingenuity, continue to unlock the mysteries of the nano world. 🔗bit.ly/4kreMfh & bit.ly/46xDLKA…

Congratulations to Abraham Amiri, a Kavli Scholar, for his graduation from @UCLA, where he earned his masters degree in planetary science and studied under @KavliPrize laureate, David Jewitt. From his childhood gazing at the stars over Kabul, Afghanistan, to dedicating his life…

Read this fascinating interview in @_TheTransmitter between @callimcflurry and Angie Michaiel, Ph.D., who shares about what it took to cultivate research on the relationship between climate change and the nervous system. bit.ly/44rRhwN Illustration: @EoinRyanArt

Stunned by the first images released from the @VRubinObs? Join us on July 1 for a special event where key project leads and scientists share why this observatory is so special and how it will help us study the changing sky, and our own Milky Way. RSVP: bit.ly/rubin-july1

We are excited to announce The Kavli Prize's Call for Nominations! We're accepting nominations for the 2026 #KavliPrize. What breakthroughs in basic science research will you nominate? Laureates will be awarded a $1,000,000 prize. Nominate someone: kavliprize.org

What is the Vera C. Rubin Observatory (@VRubinObs) and what makes it so special? Join @KIPAC1 on Tuesday, July 1 in-person or virtually for flash talks and a panel Q&A to learn more about how Rubin is set to transform the future of astronomy with the release of its first science…
