#DidYouKnow our #NationalLabs helped discover 22 elements of the periodic table?! #75Breakthroughs @ENERGY, @argonne, @BerkeleyLab, @Livermore_Lab, @ORNL energy.gov/downloads/75-b…

We continue to monitor the situation at #Ukraine’s #nuclear facilities. Many radiation sensors around nuclear facilities in Ukraine remain operational, and we have not seen readings that raise concerns. 1/3

@UTSASciences @UTSA_PhyAst @utsa_cs Help us spread the word of this great opportunity for students!

Applications are open once again! With COVID restrictions continuing to ease up, the CONNECT Program is planning our first fully In-Person Summer Program! Including a $5000 stipend, you can find more information and our application form at utsa.edu/physics/connec… @UTSAResearch

“Nobody has this here at UTSA, and it’s going to be one-of-a-kind facility,” Dr. Alamaniotis said, “It’s a big deal that we got this grant, so we can develop this new area" @UTSAResearch @UTSASciences @EngineeringUTSA @utsa_cs @UTSA_PhyAst

Congrats to CONNET PI, Dr. Miltos Alamaniotis, for helping UTSA secure a new $450k grant from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission aimed at Cyber Security for Nuclear Power Plants! Read more here: utsa.edu/today/2021/07/…

Heads up! The CONNECT Program is still up and running and our postdoc positions are still open and we are looking for more candidates!

We'de also like to thank everyone that applied for our Summer Research experience! Given the times, we are moving the Summer program totally online, in a brand new virtual mentoring experience. Our team is hard at work coming up with an engaging plan for our students

Looks like our CONNECT Fellows had a great time at the #S3TEM workshop in Charlotte, NC last month! The workshop was all about soft skills, like breaking out of your comfort zone, constant networking events in the evenings, with a final group presentation/contest
