This is what I love about materials science. Anything and everything can be a question to solve, and there's always a new way to look at all of the matter around us- from bug legs to new classes of semiconductors. Providing tools to young students to explore the world around them is how it all starts. #materialsscience #materialsengineering

Maybe the presidents of the Ivy League Schools of HAMAS need better definitions of antisemitism. Here are a few for their edification and clarification. * Calling for, aiding, or justifying the killing or harming of Jews in the name of a radical ideology or an extremist view of religion. * Making mendacious, dehumanizing, demonizing, or stereotypical allegations about Jews as such or the power of Jews as collective — such as, especially but not exclusively, the myth about a world Jewish conspiracy or of Jews controlling the media, economy, government or other societal institutions. * Accusing Jews as a people of being responsible for real or imagined wrongdoing committed by a single Jewish person or group, or even for acts committed by non-Jews. * Denying the fact, scope, mechanisms (e.g. gas chambers) or intentionality of the genocide of the Jewish people at the hands of National Socialist Germany and its supporters and accomplices during World War II (the Holocaust) * Accusing the Jews as a people, or Israel as a state, of inventing or exaggerating the Holocaust. * Accusing Jewish citizens of being more loyal to Israel, or to the alleged priorities of Jews worldwide, than to the interests of their own nations. * Denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, e.g., by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor. * Applying double standards by requiring of it a behavior not expected or demanded of any other democratic nation. * Using the symbols and images associated with classic antisemitism (e.g., claims of Jews killing Jesus or blood libel) to characterize Israel or Israelis. * Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis. * Holding Jews collectively responsible for actions of the state of Israel. Antisemitic acts are criminal when they are so defined by law (for example, denial of the Holocaust or distribution of antisemitic materials in some countries). Criminal acts are antisemitic when the targets of attacks, whether they are people or property – such as buildings, schools, places of worship and cemeteries – are selected because they are, or are perceived to be, Jewish or linked to Jews.

Amazing opportunity for students and early-career scientists to immerse themselves in cutting-edge, human-relevant research methods! #summerschool #innovativescience #humaneresearch #humanescience #betterscience #replacement #nams #newapproachmethods #pcrm #earlycareerresearchers #freetraining

Are you curious what kind of work is done in AAAS Science & Technology Policy Fellowships? Check out my recent feature in the National Science Foundation (NSF) Weekly Wire!

Grant winner 5 of 5! 📣 Name 👤: John J. Han Education 🏫: McGill University Proposal 📜: Many people fail to recognise their vulnerability to bias and are reluctant to receive extraneous interventions that are designed to promote debiasing. One reason for this reluctance is the cognitive barrier that suppresses one’s responsiveness to debiasing procedures. My study aims to provide evidence that people can self-correct and reduce their susceptibility to bias with experience over time. Gorilla tool 🛠️: Game Builder How will winning the Gorilla X CloudResearch grant support your research? 🧐 ⭐️  I am very much looking forward to this opportunity to develop studies using the Gorilla Experiment Builder as well as the prospect of showing others about the co-existence of user-friendliness and scientific rigor.

📌 Are you interested in learning how your science can make a meaningful impact? 📌 Do you want to learn more about the intersection of science and policy? Join us next year for the 2025 Summer Policy Colloquium #AMSSPC! You can learn more about the Colloquium here: https://bit.ly/amsspc

Curious about the purpose of research parks like Coldstream? Discover the history and theory behind these innovative spaces in "The History of Research Parks and Their Evolution into Innovation Districts" by the Association of University Related Research Parks (AURP). This insightful paper traces the origins of research parks, starting with Stanford University’s groundbreaking establishment in 1951. It explores how these parks have evolved into dynamic communities that blend academic, industrial, and public interests. Learn how U.S. federal funding, through agencies like the Economic Development Administration (EDA) and the National Science Foundation (NSF), has been pivotal in this growth. It concludes with policy recommendations aimed at fostering the next generation of tech hubs and innovation districts.

How did you end your week?? Last meeting of the week and I had the pleasure and honour to conduct a guest lecture at the Technical University of Munich to our future talents of Engineers, Scientists and Technologists. „Improving the world with Virtual Twins powered by AI“ The future of STEM knowledge looks positive when I reflect on the width, depth and smartness of the questions. Thanks all!!! BUT, we all need to do more to excite the next generation of innovators… Thanks to Sebastian Junker and Prof. Dr. Dr. h. c. mult. Horst Wildemann for making it happen. (See below- Typical students, back of the class still rules!!)

Looking forward to this panel discussion tomorrow, moderated by Lynn Simon. According to HBR, your data strategy is the missing link in achieving AI-enabled transformation. In a survey of 247 executives across industry sectors, HBR found that 92% of organizations are working with AI/ML models today, yet 61% don’t have a data strategy in place to support it. Developing an effective data strategy is hard and requires a robust and scalable data infrastructure, governance processes, and a data-driven mindset within the organization. Where does your healthcare organization rank on the data maturity curve? #HealthcareInnovation #NashHCC #ACHEMT1 #AI #Data
