Mariam Afzal Manuel, PhD

So excited to share that we have been awarded a new grant through the NSF Racial Equity in STEM program. Grateful to be in this impactful work with an amazing team Jacqueline Ekeoba, Donna Stokes, @Dr_AprilPeters @dr_jah_director and Marvin Pierre w/ 8 Million Stories.

@jacobskarend @NASASTEM @AliefISD @AliefScience @OlleMightyOwls @ATaylorHS Love this!!

Ready for an intense problem solving challenge? Our Alief STEM scholars are engineering a solution to capture carbon for astronauts on the future Artemis exploration in 10 min.! @NASASTEM @aliefisd @AliefScience @OlleMightyOwls @ATaylorHS

@FutureDrMorgan_ Yes!!!! Dr. Morgan!! Time to change that handle, future is here! 🔥 Congrats! So proud of you! 🫶🏽

UPDATE: I became Dr. Morgan Love Mitchell today. 💕

@Dr_AJHarris06 Yay!

@ScienceManuel This is Awesome! I will be sure to join the livestream!

Thrilled and honored to be invited to the 2024 White House Summit on STEMM Equity and Excellence! Looking forward to learning and contributing to this critical work. Don’t miss the live-streamed plenary session at 9am EST tomorrow: bit.ly/WHsummit2024 #STEMMForAll

@kmcintush Thank you!

@ScienceManuel How exciting. Way to go, Mariam!

@DrVerhofstad Thank you! Inspired by the work you do as well!

@ScienceManuel Congratulations! You're so inspiring!

@KavitaMNA @WRegionalNoyce I will not this year. I’ll be at the iuse summit in June, will you be going to that one?

@ScienceManuel @WRegionalNoyce Will you be attending the noyce summit in July?

Incredible time learning and networking @WRegionalNoyce conf. 40+ students, grads and fellows from our teachHOUSTON program attended & presented sessions including couple on STEM RISE. Thanks to all who were involved in putting together this space for growth and collaboration! 👏🏽

@travisyork @GenevaCollege @WHOSTP Thank you for sharing your voice and for using your platform to advocate for others! Congrats! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

🚀 This Wednesday, May 1st, join us for a monumental moment at bit.ly/WHsummit2024! Reflecting on my journey as a half-indigenous, queer, first-gen college student at @GenevaCollege, co-hosting not 1, but 2 White House Summits with @WHOSTP and unveiling America's inaugural cross-sector national strategy for STEMM equity & excellence is surreal. But it shouldn't be about luck or coincidence. Every individual deserves equitable opportunities to contribute to society. Our STEMM systems must evolve to unlock America's full talent and innovation potential, which is at the heart of @SOA_2050! 🌟 Shout out to @Penn_State for believing & investing in me as a doc student and beyond, to @KebleOxford for inspiring me to go into #HiEd, to @valdostastate for letting me teach amazing students as an Assistant Professor, to @APLU_News for equipping me for Association Leadership, and to @AAAS for giving me wings to soar and the STEMM Equity DREAM TEAM - #ISEED! @NIH @EPA @NSB @ENERGY @STEMecosystems @NSF @NCWIT @500QueerSci @FirstGenCollege @SACNAS @AAUW @NAACP @ABRCMS @NSTA @STEMconnector @PSU_CollegeOfEd @DoDstem @AISES @LGBTQPresidents @ASHEoffice @AERA_EdResearch @AERADiv_J @JoeBiden @VP @FLOTUS @POTUS

@MiniDas_ @UHPhysics @UHEngineering Congrats!!

Honored to receive Moores Professorship at the UH Faculty Excellence Award ceremony today. Thanks to my colleagues and students @UHPhysics @UHEngineering .

Congrats Tristan!! Way to go!

@dr_nickiw Every time! And I always believe I’ll find the receipts and scan them even though absolutely nothing in the past suggests I will do that 😂

Eid Mubarak to my fellow Muslims! Special shoutout to those who are having to spend this day at work or in school, and those who are away from their families. May we all find time to celebrate and experience the joy of this occasion.

Sen. Brandon Creighton sent a letter to public university system regents today announcing plans for an interim hearing on Senate Bill 17 in May. He requests each system prepare how they've prohibited DEI offices, mandatory DEI training, merit-based hiring and more before May 3.

Ramadan Mubarak to my fellow Muslims around the world. May this month bring in healing, unity, and restoration.

@dr_jah_director Incredible team!

@shaffer_lab @WRegionalNoyce @UHteachHOUSTON @UHouston Yes!! Super proud of Tristin! Also, grateful for the nurturing and collaborative environment our students always find in the @shaffer_lab 👏🏽

@ScienceManuel @WRegionalNoyce We are so proud of Tristan, our @UHteachHOUSTON undergraduate researcher, for representing @UHouston at the @WRegionalNoyce conference in Portland! It's great working with you, Tristan! #UHEngineering

@Dr_AJHarris06 It was an excellent talk! Thank you for sharing your resources, time, and expertise!

It was a pleasure to facilitate this talk…ALL STUDENTS CAN DO MATHEMATICS AND SCIENCE!

Brother #MalcolmX [el-Hajj Malik el-Shabazz] was assassinated 59 years ago today. I encourage you to learn about him from him via ‘The Autobiography of Malcolm X.’ Thinking of and praying for the dear daughters of Brother Malcolm and Dr. Betty Shabazz.
