Halloween is also Dark Matter Day! 🎃 🌌 This #DarkMatterDay, we’re celebrating the instinct to seek, wonder, and explore the invisible forces that shape our universe. Because understanding the unseen helps us make sense of everything we are. 💫 Previous SciComm Excellence award winners Zack Savitsky, Claire Lamman, and Sanjana Curtis reflect on how studying the cosmos — its origins, its elements, and its mysteries — connects us all. Celebrate discovery this #DarkMatterDay and explore how curiosity shapes our understanding of the cosmos. ✨ Learn more about our program and watch more videos about #scicomm topics at: https://lnkd.in/g22H8Jsi #sciencecommunication #space #astronomy #astrophysics #physics #cosmology #cosmos #darkmatter #universe

As the nature of work continues to evolve, so do the skills required to succeed in an increasingly automated, technology-driven world. Our November 7 webinar will explore the critical role of reskilling and upskilling in our evolving workforce — not just in terms of career paths, but in how individuals navigate shifting job markets, refocus their expertise, and adapt to new opportunities.

Medical examiners and coroners often face major obstacles in investigating deaths in custody, including outdated and unaccredited facilities and a lack of trained and certified personnel. Our new report recommends actions that Congress, state governments, and others should take to strengthen the nation’s medicolegal death investigation system.

Federal agencies, advisory committees, and non-governmental organizations like the National Academies can inform policymaking by providing evidence and recommendations to guide decisions on public issues. At our November 3 Climate Conversations webinar, Ben Zaitchik and Lauren Wustenberg will discuss how science is incorporated into policy at different levels of government, and opportunities for science and scientists to engage in this space.

"History shows that when it comes to space nuclear power, the United States is far better at setting goals than seeing them through." A new article in Issues in Science and Technology explores a new directive to build a nuclear reactor on the Moon, why past U.S. space nuclear programs have failed, and what is needed to ensure that this time is different.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) can have lasting physical, cognitive, and emotional health impacts. A recent National Academies workshop explored TBI as a chronic condition and opportunities to improve lifelong care. Read about presentations and discussions from the workshop — including perspectives from TBI patients that underscore the human impact of these issues and the importance of sustained, multidisciplinary support for recovery and well-being: https://ow.ly/C3uU50XhOjU #TraumaticBrainInjury #TBI #BrainInjury #ChronicHealthConditions #ChronicPain

Congratulations to the 2025 winners of the National Academies Eric and Wendy Schmidt Awards for Excellence in Science Communications! The awards, given by The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine in partnership with Schmidt Sciences, recognize science journalists, research scientists, and science communicators who have developed creative, original work to communicate issues and advances in science, engineering, and medicine to the general public. “These outstanding communicators remind us that knowledge becomes powerful when it is shared,” said selection committee chair Megan L. Ranney, a member of the National Academy of Medicine and dean of the Yale School of Public Health. “By reaching across disciplines, mediums, and communities, they not only inform but also inspire, helping all of us see how science shapes our daily lives and our shared future.” Learn more about the 2025 winners: https://lnkd.in/g-weCeu6 #sciencecommunication #science #sciencejournalism
