Patties in Zero G! Thanks to our friends at @aurelia_labs, two of our alumni are getting their first taste weightlessness this weekend. Brandon (Class of 21) flew yesterday, and tested out gecko grip in microgravity alongside fellows of our sister programs! 🤩🤩

I’m honored to be included in this year's #ForbesUnder30 cohort, and even happier to see @Forbes recognize impact-driven research in science and engineering. Many thanks to my friends, colleagues, and mentors who share my vision for a peaceful space domain. It's a group effort!
Congratulations to Thomas González Roberts for earning a spot on @ForbesUnder30! His work comes at a crucial moment in the history of space exploration – Here's to a future where the final frontier remains a realm of collaboration and exploration 🛰️ ow.ly/nMO250QcA3i

Solidarity to all those PhD and postdocs who are constantly having to worry about countless visa applications to present at conferences, work with collaborators abroad & constantly having to think about residency issues whilst working hard on short term fixed contracts …

I've learned how to unapologetically make space for my feelings. Like having a cry and going about my day. It might be a big cry, it might be a little cry, but I'm not letting it stop me. After the divorce I was at the grocery store sobbing, putting things in the cart LOL 1/

Nothing special here, just lots of open tables, music and beer, where you could also be "working". Opening at 12:30 on Fridays!

As an engineer with tattoos, facial piercings, locs, and who loves a good falsie eyelash: 🍅🍅🍅🍅 Frustrating to see this silly and outdated sentiment still alive and well. That respectability crap is what keeps young capable people out of these fields now.

#marinerobotics #summerschool DAY 6:Sea time! Students embarked on a 1-day journey at sea to deploy the drifters they build & test other sensors. They will be following their drifters online and using models to predict drifters' locations. A special guest joined the activity🐬
