Congratulations to Rabab! @UCIEngineering

@stickaforkinme2 @ScienceMagazine @ScienceAdvances New knowledge = science. Application = engineering. Practice = medicine. Understanding that a minimum size is necessary for the ear’s semicircular canals to provide balance = new knowledge, which may lead to inventions (engineering) to help those with vertigo (medicine).

@ScienceMagazine @ScienceAdvances Why are you studying clumsy frogs? Aren’t there better ways to use these funds?

Tiny Brazilian frogs’ inner ear canals are too small to help them balance well, finds a study from last year in @ScienceAdvances, explaining why they are clumsy jumpers. scim.ag/13N

@ScienceMagazine @ScienceAdvances Just wondering, what did that cost and what value is the result?

@ScienceMagazine @ScienceAdvances Ok tell me what has that added to science in general.?

Postdoc Rabab Chalaby, PhD presented her research at the BMES CMBE conference today! @uci_bme @UCIEngineering @BMESociety #CMBE2023

@HegosWay @blk_dahlia2 @rokdevil @figoreilly @CBSUnstoppable @GeenaDavisOrg @IfThenSheCan True, but some were getting fired for refusing to relax their hair. So they made a law in 2020 to prevent people from being allowed to fire them.

As a black woman on a national science show, I intentionally wear braids and my curly Afro to normalize black hair in stem. In this pic, I’m wearing cornrows to study plants being sent to space at NASA.

@BO_CEPHUS2021 @astrojim @Wesanator324 @figoreilly @CBSUnstoppable @GeenaDavisOrg @IfThenSheCan Technically, multiple cultures independently originated braids. Ancient Africans had braids and having never met Norse certainly didn’t steal them. Native Americans likewise also had braids. There is no way to know who was “first,” and really no need.

@astrojim @Wesanator324 @figoreilly @CBSUnstoppable @GeenaDavisOrg @IfThenSheCan You don’t watch much news, do you? Can’t say I blame you, but it was in fact African Americans that tried to “claim” the culture, when in fact it was the Danes/Norsemen that first adapted the style.

@QuinaScience Imma need one. 🤣

OlabisiLab undergrads giving their UROP presentation today. They did a great job! @uci_bme
