Alumnus Wayne Feller, A&S '69, and his wife, Mary, made a transformative estate gift to the Department of Chemistry, establishing the department chair's fund and a new endowed professorship named after Wayne's PhD advisor, Brown L. Murr. The funds, which were matched with an outright gift through the Legacy Match program, encompass faculty, graduate students, and operational support.

As the largest in the chemistry department's history, the Feller's gift will also help fund "top-flight instrumentation required to perform research at the caliber that we do," shares department chair Tim Warren.

On October 21, @hopkinsnursing opened the BRAVE Nursing Center, a nurse-led, interdisciplinary center of excellence dedicated to advancing violence and trauma science through research, practice, education, and policy leadership. Dr. Jacquelyn Campbell, a professor at @hopkinsnursing, created the Danger Assessment, a tool used to help abused women more accurately assess their risk of homicide so they can use the information in making decisions as they go forward. Dr. Campbell spoke at the inaugural lectureship following the BRAVE Center's opening ceremony.

A 35-year friendship inspired the creation of the Luc de Smet Leadership Endowment Fund in honor of @johnshopkinssais alumnus Luc de Smet. The fund supports a Leadership Fellow and Leadership Prize, celebrating de Smet's SAIS education and to inspire others to follow his lifework.

“We want these students to prosper,” says Franklin, a friend of de Smet's. “We don’t consider it a gift. It’s an investment, an investment in Johns Hopkins, an investment in SAIS, and an investment in these future leaders.”

Johns Hopkins has been part of the fabric of Baltimore for 150 years. From research and health care to education, community partnerships, and beyond, our work has always been connected to the people and places that make this city home.

In honor of Gynecologic Cancer Awareness Month, @jhkgos hosted a symposium focusing on various cancer-related topics in women's health.

Dr. Rebecca Stone, the Stoddard & O’Neill Professor in Gynecologic Oncology and director of the Kelly Gynecologic Oncology Service, recently shared research about nearly all ovarian cancers being cancers of the fallopian tubes. Stone notes that the American Cancer Society is working on a national campaign to raise awareness among women and doctors that tube removal can help prevent most ovarian cancers.
