By endowing a SURF fellowship, Alan Marumoto (BS '86) is creating a lasting impact on the next generation of researchers. Their journeys begin with a single summer. Read more: shorturl.at/eQNG6

Caltech researchers share initial findings and data from a study that aims to understand how much lead and other toxic metals are present in the environment after the Eaton fire. scienceexchange.caltech.edu/topics/sustain…

SPHEREx is preparing to study our cosmos ✨ These early images indicate the space telescope's six detectors are working. The images aren't ready for science use but were processed to show the colors of infrared wavelengths, which are invisible to the eye. go.nasa.gov/3G14yDQ

After today's cold system departs, spring will begin in earnest across California w/much drier & warmer conditions on horizon. In fact, at the moment, ensembles are hinting at a major and perhaps even record-breaking early-season heat event in ~10 days. Stay tuned. #CAwx #CAwater

I’m thrilled to share that I will be joining @Caltech this June as a Melza M. And Frank Theodore Barr postdoctoral fellow. Super excited for all the science to be done in the coming years.

Happening tonight! Join us to learn about how the universe is changing over time and how the NASA SPHEREx mission can help us find out.

Walter Massey will deliver the keynote address at Caltech's 131st Annual Commencement Ceremony on June 13, 2025. caltech.edu/about/news/wal…

Are you a doctoral student, recent Ph.D., postdoc, or junior faculty who has a strong interest in science-driven robotic space exploration missions? The deadline to apply for NASA's Planetary Science Summer School is March 18. Details and eligibility: go.nasa.gov/missiondesigns…

8pm tomorrow at #APSSummit25 we'll have a session on "Quantum Future - The Promise, the Hype, the Opportunity" -- 6 speakers and a panel. Should be interesting. Speakers: Tony Leggett, Megan Ivory, Krysta Svore, Wojciech Zurek, Emily Edwards, and me. summit.aps.org/events/MAR-EV4…

In 1999, I wrote a paper on "Quantum information and precision measurement" with two brilliant undergrads @Caltech, @joerenes and @andrewmchilds. Here we are reunited @QIP2025. (Former student @nickrhj is in the background.)

“Everything else in your life is going to seem doable after Caltech.” Louise Kirkbride, MS (BS '75, MS '76), discovered that Caltech was challenging and intense. And she loved it. Read the full Techer interview about her experience: alumni.caltech.edu/the-pioneers #CaltechAlumni

Still expecting strong storm for #SoCal Wed-Fri - Significant rain likely all areas - 10-20% chance of thunderstorms Thu/Thu night - Widespread roadway flooding likely - Moderate to high risk of mud/debris flows near recent burn scars - Snow levels 6000 ft or higher #CAwx

Rain chances are ongoing into Fri, with an additional 0.5 to 1 inch expected for most areas, and 1-2 inches for mountains/hills. Minor impacts are expected, including shallow mud flows on roads in and near recent burn scars. Leave extra travel time and drive carefully. #CArain
