  2. At the outset of WWII, MIT contributed to the training of African-American military pilots popularly known as the Tuskegee Airmen.

  3. After surgery to correct childhood hearing loss, Swarna Jeewajee discovered a desire to be a physician-scientist, and a love of a capella music. The chem and bio major is the co-founder of Singing for Service.

  7. Professor Arnold Barnett examined commercial flight safety from 2008 to 2017 and found that “globally, flying today is six times safer than 30 years ago, and 22 times safer than 50 years ago.” via

  8. A trapped-ion pair may help scale up quantum computers: Qubits made from strontium and calcium ions can be precisely controlled by technology that already exists.

  9. Using a new screening technique, MIT neuroscientists have identified hundreds of genes that are necessary for neuron survival. The results include at least one promising drug target for Huntington’s disease.

  13. Engineers have developed a bionic “heart” — made of biological tissue and a robotic pumping system — that beats like the real thing. The device offers a more realistic model for testing artificial heart valves and other cardiac devices.

  14. Using artificial intelligence to enrich digital maps: Model tags road features based on satellite images, to improve GPS navigation in places with limited map data.

  15. Kang Zhou on the lessons of Chinese calligraphy: When we appreciate calligraphy works in class, we also analyze the life experiences and stories of each calligrapher’s unique style.

    Students practice calligraphy using large calligraphy brushes.
  16. Roots Studio, founded by Rebecca Hui MCP ’18, digitizes and licenses the work of artists in isolated and distressed regions. It’s one of the many companies launched through the delta v accelerator program of the Martin Trust Center.

  17. The findings of a this new study not only identify the exact population of brain cells that are key for learning not to feel afraid anymore, but also show that these neurons are the same ones that help encode feelings of reward.

  18. MIT's iconic Building 10 with a light blanket of snow, as seen recently at . Happy !

  19. Rachel Shen’s research on the cyanobacterium Prochlorococcus may offer clues to biodegradable alternatives for plastic. The major says basic science is a vital part of her MIT education.
