Our Carnegie President Eric D. Isaacs thanks several of our special alumni and donors at the start of tonight's program in honor of our Board of Trustees.


Our Carnegie President Eric D. Isaacs introduces tonight's speaker for our Board of Trustees' dinner, Lorenzo Rosa, who researches how to make agriculture and energy more sustainable and how to improve water accessibility with minimal environmental impact.


If we make agriculture more sustainable, we can solve many of our challenges, including food and energy security, water scarcity, biodiversity loss, pollution, and climate change, says Lorenzo Rosa addressing our Carnegie Board of Trustees.

This International #WomenInScience Day we are remembering some of our game-changing Carnegie scientists, like Carnegie Embryology's Nobel winning Barbara McClintock, whose work on "jumping genes" was initially dismissed, but eventually revolutionized her field.




On International #WomenInScience Day, and every day, we always look to the wisdom of Carnegie Earth & Planets Laboratory' National Medal of Science-winning astronomer Vera Rubin, whose research confirmed the existence of dark matter and who was a lifelong champion for women in science.


Our Carnegie President Eric D. Isaacs welcomed an enthusiastic crowd to our Carnegie Earth & Planets Laboratory campus for a special screening of the National Geographic documentary The Space Race about Black astronauts, engineers & scientists followed by a Q&A with special guests Charles Bolden and Leland Melvin.

How will the Giant Magellan Telescope change astronomy? Carnegie Astronomy & Carnegie Earth & Planets Laboratory scientists tell us in their own words. carnegiescience.edu/carnegie-scien…


The U.S. learned the hard way that falling behind in science can be costly. Now, U.S. leadership in astronomy is threatened as the NSF considers whether to fund 2 giant telescope projects say Carnegie President Eric Isaacs & Caltech President Thomas Rosenbaum. latimes.com/opinion/story/…


Our Carnegie President Eric D. Isaacs talks to YPO Gold Chicago at Adler Planetarium tonight about the scope of Carnegie Science's groundbreaking research initiatives.




Proud to introduce one of our newest Staff Scientists, Jessica Spake, to kick off the 23rd season of our Astronomy Lectures at The Huntington tonight. I launched this series in 2002 as a Carnegie Science centennial celebration and now here we are!
