We invite the Brown community and our friends around the world to join together in observing a moment of silence to mark six months since the shooting that occurred on our campus on December 13, 2025.
We acknowledge the void left by the two members of the Brown family we lost, and the pain that our entire community has carried since that day. We recognize our community’s grief and its resilience, and the continued healing that is part of our shared experience.
We are ever true.

Measuring cell “squishiness” just got a major upgrade.
A new approach from Brown University can analyze hundreds of cells per second — offering a faster, more reliable way to study diseases like cancer and sickle cell.
