Reflecting on 250 years of American independence in an essay for The Boston Globe, Noubar Afeyan PhD ‘87 and a member of the MIT Corporation describes “the millions of smaller revolutions that forge the America I know and love,” including America’s leadership in science and his own journey immigrating to the U.S. to study at MIT. “Let’s recommit to revolutions, to science shakeups and startup foundings and immigrant dreams; to all the reinventions that we find in our own lives and work. Let’s prove yet again that there is a better future over the horizon and that we will build it,” Afeyan writes.
