⏰ We’re in the final hours of the MIT 24-Hour Challenge, and over halfway to our goal of 100 donors! Donate now to help us continue to create new chemical knowledge and mentor the next generation of the best and brightest students. mtyc.co/jn4z0f

MIT alums and friends of the department: we still need about 45 donors. No donation is too small! Your support is greatly appreciated.

🚨 The MIT 24-Hour Challenge is on! If 100 donors make a gift to the Chemistry Department during today’s MIT 24-Hour Challenge, $30,000 will be unlocked from Lindsay Androski ’98 and another generous donor. Make your gift now! mtyc.co/jn4z0f

Our MIT community is powered by curiosity, resilience, teamwork—and YOU! During today's 24-Hour Challenge you can help students, faculty, and staff power impact that benefits us all. When you give $314+ today, you’ll get a custom daily puzzle calendar! mit24hourchallenge.mightycause.com/story/Mit-Chem…

In research that could help elucidate humans’ role in global warming, MIT Prof./CS3 faculty affiliate Susan Solomon & coauthors show how 3 major natural events - 2 #volcanoes & the Australian #wildfires (2019-20) - impacted global atmospheric temperatures. tinyurl.com/yx5dxd9w

Congratulations to Professor Tim Swager, who has been selected to receive the 2026 Theodore Williams Richards Medal for “conspicuous achievement in chemistry" by @AmerChemSociety. chemistry.mit.edu/chemistry-news…

Researchers in the Shoulders Lab have uncovered a sinister hidden mechanism that can allow cancer cells to survive even when hit with powerful drugs. The secret lies in a cellular “safety net” that gives cancer the freedom to develop aggressive mutations. chemistry.mit.edu/chemistry-news…
