"Everyday when we look at the world, sometimes we're angry. We're resigned to feeling this increasingly crazy world is out of control. What do you do in this? You don't shy away from the challenges in the world today ... The answer is to live deeply and look up." @maejemison

My appreciation post for the @davematthewsbnd album “Crash” on it’s 30th birthday. When you had to skip school to get your favorite band’s new cd. Man, I miss the 90s. #davematthewsband @SLessard

We are deeply saddened to hear the loss of Coach Graham. The legendary coach and Hall of Famer impacted the Rice baseball program immensely.
His passion for the game and dedication to his players left a lasting impact on everyone who had the privilege to know him.

Rice research featured on the cover of today's issue of Science shows new possibilities in solar energy. Aditya Mohite and collaborators created new chemical formulations for perovskite photovoltaics, which could transform solar panel manufacturing. bit.ly/4c1LEYW

#RiceSummer is here! We traveled to @AcadiaNPS. What an inspiring place that combines mountains, lakes and the Atlantic Coast. The view from Cadillac Mountain is one of the most amazing things I've ever seen.

At the heart of Rice's campus lies The William A. Lawson Grove, dedicated to Rev. Lawson -- an esteemed civil rights champion & cherished community leader. Today, we honor his legacy and the community space as we mourn the passing of Rev. Lawson. bit.ly/3QGZMhC
