"Two billion people don't have access to clean drinking water. And that's what inspired my project: to be able to find a nearly zero-cost way to be able to filter water," remarked 13-year-old Tina Jin from San Jose, CA., on CBS News. Tina won the top prize at this year's Thermo Fisher Scientific Junior Innovators Challenge, the nation's premier STEM research competition for middle school students. Her novel water filtration system uses natural materials to make dirty water potable, as verified by an independent agency. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/g6cRrwRQ

Chasing Lava: Discover how a Thermo Fisher scientist and our portable scanning electron microscope helped researchers on an expedition in southern Iceland analyze samples taken from fresh lava tubes. Their discoveries are helping them answer questions about how minerals and life begin in extreme, subterranean environments on Earth and other planets.

Science + Art. The winners of our 2024 Microscopy Imaging Contest captured the mesmerizing beauty of research with stunning images that showcase the artistry and precision of scientific discovery. These photographs of biological samples under the microscope offer a unique glimpse into the body’s inner workings - from the brain to the gut.

The bacteria that cause pneumonia is the leading cause of related hospitalizations in children and the second leading cause for adults. This is why Thermo Fisher empowers healthcare providers with advanced diagnostic tools designed to detect the bacteria at the root of pneumonia, which can lead to severe complications if not properly and efficiently treated. Our comprehensive antimicrobial tests help clinicians do this by providing the accurate results they need to determine the most effective treatment for their patients. Together, we can help ensure that pneumonia is diagnosed quickly and treated appropriately. #WorldPneumoniaDay https://lnkd.in/g3JNRdsf

What’s it like to be on the front lines of scientific innovation? That’s something our field service engineer interns learn on the job as they help install and maintain the vital equipment that scientists rely on to make ground-breaking discoveries. Each day, field service engineering interns receive hands-on training that equips them with the skills to support the latest technologies and travel to local customer sites to solve unique challenges. Our interns join a global team of innovators and connect with mentors that help them on a path to long-term success, with abundant opportunities for skill building and advancement.

Today, on National STEM Day, help us celebrate the remarkable achievements of the middle school scientists and engineers who were awarded over $100,000 in prizes for their groundbreaking research and innovations at this year’s Thermo Fisher Scientific #JuniorInnovators Challenge. From a water filtration system built with animal bone waste to a chemical “nose” trained with machine learning to detect food allergens and so much more, these outstanding students are tackling global challenges with ingenuity and inventive thinking. Thermo Fisher is proud to work with Society for Science to support and inspire this next generation of #STEM leaders. Thanks to these young minds, the future is bright. 🤩

This week, I had the privilege of meeting with Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey. We had a very productive discussion about the current business climate, the state’s biomedical ecosystem and the long-term benefits of advancing the life sciences industry in Massachusetts. We also talked about the importance of a strong STEM education system, as well as the role of our region’s academic medical centers and institutions of higher learning in fueling discovery and Innovation and developing the next generation of talent. The impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on scientific discovery – and on nearly every aspect of our lives – was also a key topic of conversation. It goes without saying that I was proud to share with the governor the role that Thermo Fisher plays in advancing many of these priorities. As one of the state’s largest companies, we are committed to helping advance the life sciences industry in Massachusetts, so we can help to improve lives across the globe.

To help improve our understanding of human diseases the UAMS - University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences has launched the Thermo Fisher Scientific Center of Excellence for Proteomics. This new center will enable researchers and doctors to use advanced tools, including state-of-the-art Thermo Scientific Orbitrap mass spectrometers, to study the effect proteins have on human health and treatment options. With support from UAMS, we are committed to fostering innovation, advancing education, and gaining a deeper understanding of the underlying causes of disease. To learn more about this exciting partnership and how our advanced Orbitrap instruments will boost drug discovery and improve human health, please visit: https://lnkd.in/eQ7Yf4Yj

Our interns gain valuable work experience while making a difference in our communities through our volunteer programs. From working with local farms to provide equitable access to healthy food to supporting people with disabilities through outdoor adventures, Thermo Fisher interns have rich experiences and the chance to make an impact. To learn how you can gain hands-on experience, build a purposeful career, and make a difference in the world, explore our 2025 Summer Internship opportunities. https://lnkd.in/grMB2EN3

We believe in the power of community and the impact of small acts of kindness. This is why our colleagues, in partnership with Ronald McDonald House Charities, support families like the Huggins, whose premature baby required an 82-day NICU stay. Thermo Fisher Scientific volunteers provided meals that made their stay “like home” so that they were able to “unwind... get some sleep and do it all over the next day for our baby,” said Allyson Huggins. We are proud of our global network of colleagues who provide vital support in their communities. https://lnkd.in/g77AFgvw
