Arizona College of Science

Thanks to @StartupTucson and @UAZInnovation for an AWESOME day at #IdeaFunding yesterday! 🎉 We're so proud of our two startup pitchers that won funding: 🏆 Tomas Gianetti, CarbeniumTec, @UAZScience 🏆 Bibiana Law, Phytocentric Solutions, @UArizonaCALES Congratulations all!

Operation Galaxy Slam as a huge success 🫡

Galaxy Slam Week continues! Join us Monday, Feb 16 at 7:30 PM for our public evening lecture, "Beardown, Look Up: AI on the Cosmic Court." Learn how AI helps us image black holes, transform education, and push the boundaries of discovery: bit.ly/3OETIrt.

Regents Professor Marcia Rieke is the @uarizona honoree for the Big 12 Faculty of the Year award. As principal investigator of NIRCam on the James Webb Space Telescope, she has helped redefine our understanding of the early universe through infrared astronomy.

A big thank you to @ArizonaMBB head coach Tommy Lloyd for speaking at last night’s College of Science Lecture Series and discussing the collaboration for Galaxy Slam week! @UAZScience

Reaching for the stars isn’t just an idea…it’s what we do ✨

We are deeply grateful to Sarah for this profound gift to support the College of Science. news.arizona.edu/news/sarah-sma…

A generous $5 million gift from Sarah Smallhouse has established the Sarah Brown Smallhouse Endowed Deanship, strengthening leadership in the College of Science and expanding opportunities for students and researchers for generations to come. #BearDown @uarizona

Check out the incredibly cool stuff our friends at @UAZScience are doing: youtube.com/watch?v=IAl9Eq…

The Lecture Series is free and open to the public. Free tickets are still available at science.arizona.edu/lecture. We look forward to seeing Coach Lloyd and hearing from our Lecture Series speaker, Dr. Martha Bhattacharya, at 7:00pm. We hope you can join us!

We are excited to share @ArizonaMBB head coach Tommy Lloyd will join us at Centennial Hall on 2/11 for the College of Science Lecture Series! Coach Lloyd will speak about next week’s Galaxy Slam basketball game and the team’s collaboration with @uarizona space science programs.

Join us at Centennial Hall for three more installations of the 2026 College of Science Lecture Series! February 11: Dr. Martha Bhattacharya February 17: Dr. Lise-Marie Imbert-Gérard February 25: Dr. Laura Condon Visit science.arizona.edu/lecture to learn more and for free tickets🎟️

Congratulations to Dr. Marcia Rieke, who is being honored as the Big 12 Faculty of the Year for the University of Arizona! @uarizona @Big12Conference

The University of Arizona (@uarizona) and College of Science (@UAZScience) are proud to represent the language of the Pascua Yaqui in their own chosen tribute to the Koffler building and the sciences that students learn and practice there.

“Knowledge, Respect, Community.” Today we celebrated the sign unveiling of these words in the Yoeme language of the Pascua Yaqui tribe.

After volcanic eruptions in Iceland, @uarizona researchers studied what happens when life starts from scratch. They found that microbes quickly colonize freshly cooled lava, surviving extreme conditions and laying the foundation for new ecosystems. More: tinyurl.com/5de7vxpx @UArizonaLPL @UAZScience

This weekend is sure to be an inspiration. @uarizona will be the only public university to lead three NASA missions. I am proud of the partnerships that have led us to this new era in cosmic discovery with Pandora. news.arizona.edu/news/pandora-k…

The NASA satellite mission Pandora led by the @uarizona will take long, detailed looks at exoplanets and their host stars, expanding our knowledge of distant worlds. Mission operations will be led at the U of A, continuing our legacy in space science. tinyurl.com/55842j6v

Congratulations, Class of 2025! 🎉🎓 We are incredibly proud of you and cannot wait to see where your journey takes you next. You are a Wildcat for Life! @UAZScience @uarizona #BearDown

U of A researchers are using tree-ring science to study ancient solar storms and major earthquakes. With the TIME Lab’s advanced radiocarbon techniques, the team is uncovering patterns that may improve predictions of space-weather hazards and seismic risks.
