MIT’s Department of Materials Science and Engineering has two newsletters. The DMSE Digest has news about DMSE faculty, students, postdocs, and staff; stories about research and media mentions; and department and Institute events. DMSE Digest: Frontiers is a quarterly publication that seeks to reconnect with alumni and forge ties with friends of the department.
