6 yrs ago, I accidentally signed up for a Physics summer camp, thinking it was an intro-level camp. Instead, I was introduced to the wonderful world of particle physics. This week, I was able to help teach the camp that jump-started my career and come full circle ⚛️🤍
UTA Science@UTAScience14 Jul 2023
High school students got an immersive experience in physics this week during the UTA High Energy & Nuclear Physics Summer Camp. The free camp featured lectures, tours of physics labs, and a research project including a coding bootcamp with analysis of real particle collider data.

"Fun" facts about vultures in this story w/ Corey Roelke of @UTABiologyDept: - When scared, vultures can defend themselves by vomiting. - Featherless heads allow them to poke through carcasses w/out getting coated in flesh. dallasnews.com/news/2023/04/… @UTAScience @adithi_r1

What to know about vultures in North Texas during spring nesting season

Vultures call North Texas home year round. But they nest in the spring, which means it's prime time to see these birds of prey laying eggs in brush piles or even in front of apartment complexes.

What a great day hosting @DrJasmineDrake for #InternationalWomansDay @UTAScience! – at Colleyville, TX
Dr. Tamara L. Brown@UTAProvost9 Mar 2023
Great time at today’s “Women in Science Faculty Lunch” with speaker Dr. Jasmine Drake, a forensic chemistry prof. at Texas Southern University. Prior to joining TSU, she was a forensic chemist for the DEA, assisting with intelligence & undercover operations. What an inspiration!
