One week ago, Deputy Secretary of Energy James Danly visited @tamu to announce a $5.4 million @ENERGY grant to study how to recycle used nuclear fuel into fuel for new reactors. Dr. Lin Shao of the Department of Nuclear Engineering leads the project, which centers on a thorium molten salt reactor, with partners at Savannah River National Laboratory and Natura Resources. The work could reduce the need to store spent fuel for the long term and help Texas lead in energy! tx.ag/TAMUEng102926

For more than 60 years, Houston has guided America's journey into space. Now, just outside the gates of NASA's Johnson Space Center, the Texas A&M University Space Institute is getting ready to open the world's largest indoor lunar and Martian surface simulations. When the doors open in late November, the next giant leap will have a home in Texas. @TexasMonthly: tx.ag/TM102026

A Texas A&M University student is making sure more than 500 kids living in shelters have a costume this Halloween. B.J. Rottinghaus '29 started Y'alloween in high school by donating costumes to one Houston shelter. This year, the nonprofit is working with nine partner organizations to bring costumes to children in homeless and domestic violence shelters in Houston, Austin, and the Brazos Valley. "Ever since I was a kid, trick-or-treating has been my favorite thing to do," Rottinghaus told @KBTXNews: tx.ag/KBTX102226

The @tamusystem is committed to closing health gaps across our state, and today that commitment took shape on San Antonio’s South Side. I was proud to join @TAMUSanAntonio to open the new Public Health and Education Building, a $55 million facility that will not only prepare students for careers in health and education but expand medical research, education, and training capabilities to address the region’s health challenges.
