#ThrowbackThursday to last October, when the German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina, the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, and The Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities held a trilateral symposium on “Energy Solutions: Research and Industry-Related Developments in Energy Production, Storage, Conversion, Transmission, and Distribution.” Held at the Leopoldina’s headquarters in Halle, Germany, the event brought together experts to discuss advancements in sustainable energy solutions. Missed it? Catch up on the recordings here to explore the latest insights in energy science and technology: https://ow.ly/swpT50Uc4JO #EnergySolutions #SustainableEnergy #ResearchInnovation #RenewableEnergy #InternationalCollaboration

Society of distinguished scientists. Providing independent, objective advice to the U.S. on science & technology.
About us
The National Academy of Sciences (NAS) is an honorific society of distinguished scholars engaged in scientific and engineering research, dedicated to the furtherance of science and technology and to their use for the general welfare. The NAS was signed into being by President Abraham Lincoln on March 3, 1863, at the height of the Civil War. As mandated in its Act of Incorporation, the NAS has, since 1863, served to "investigate, examine, experiment, and report upon any subject of science or art" whenever called upon to do so by any department of the government. Scientific issues would become even more contentious and complex in the years following the war. To keep pace with the growing roles that science and technology would play in public life, the institution that was founded in 1863 eventually expanded to include the National Research Council in 1916, the National Academy of Engineering in 1964, and the National Academy of Medicine (formerly known as the Institute of Medicine) in 1970. Collectively, the four organizations are known as the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine.

U.S.-based 2024 Nobel laureates gathered at the Embassy of Sweden in USA last week to discuss how their groundbreaking discoveries—from AI in protein prediction to microRNA research to economic wealth and prosperity studies—showcase the power of collaboration, basic research, and responsibility in science. “We have to be thoughtful about what we are making, inventing, and what jobs we want for the future,” said Simon Johnson, recipient of the 2024 Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences. “There is power and responsibility that comes with scientific leadership.” #ICYMI, read the recap: https://ow.ly/vz2r50UbgBs Photos by Konstantin Golubchik for Embassy of Sweden
