For 250 years, discovery, courage, and tenacity have driven this country forward and will continue to. From medicine to infrastructure to breakthroughs we can't yet imagine, science touches every part of daily life because someone, somewhere followed their curiosity. What are you curious about? #CuriosityOnAMission curiositymission.org

MIT professor of physics Pablo Jarillo-Herrero is among 10 researchers worldwide to receive this year’s prestigious Kavli Prize. news.mit.edu/2026/pablo-jar…
MIT Science retweeted
Some of the most important things in life feel ordinary, until you stop and think about what makes them possible. A cure. A car. A comet. Someone right now is chasing answers to questions we haven't even asked yet. This is #CuriosityOnAMission. 🔬 What are you curious about? curiositymission.org
