My first #Researchpaper as the first author was finally published last month👇
https://t.co/P9YjOJrg5e

Our study investigates the use of #CRISPR/Cas technology to knock down PD-L1 and KRAS genes in lung #cancer cells.

This work was part of my master’s thesis.🎓🎉

I saw this paper on a wall, and it made me pause.

Imagine no time limits, no money worries. What would you pursue? What changes would you make in your life?

Sometimes, the right questions show us what truly matters.

🌟 Excited to share my first story for @Satakielimedia🎉

In this piece, I delve into the challenges immigrant families face when seeking quality English-language #education for their children in #Finland.

Your feedback and thoughts are most welcome.

Many immigrant families in Finland want their children to receive English-language education. However, they face significant challenges, including long waiting lists, limited seats, and strict language requirements. https://t.co/IYuhjVtaKv

He shared valuable insights on what it takes to be a successful researcher and offered thoughtful perspectives on how research in the Middle East can grow and thrive.

It was a memorable experience that left me even more motivated.

In 2022, I worked on covering the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the Arabic version of Scientific American magazine when @MortenMeldal received the award for his groundbreaking work on click chemistry.

I was so excited to report on such a significant achievement..

Today, I had the incredible chance to meet Prof. @MortenMeldal in person at the Nanoscience Days event at the @uniofjyvaskyla.

As a researcher and a science journalist, I really enjoyed interviewing him. 🤩

🔴منذ السابع من أكتوبر 2023، أدت الحرب على #غزة إلى سقوط عدد كبير من الضحايا المدنيين، وتدمير نظام الرعاية الصحية، في ظل هذا انهيار البنية التحتية للرعاية الصحية.

والآن، يمثل شلل الأطفال حلقة جديدة من الأزمات الصحية المتصاعدة في غزة.

🇵🇸🇮🇱 Think of this when Israel tell you: "We're defending ourselves."

Genocidal bastards.

That blue and white flag represents evil in its purest form.

How can I believe this world
When it talks about humanity?
Seeing a mother lamenting her child
Who died in a raid… hungry
Making a killer on par with their victim
With all honesty and fairness
But this’s one issue, and that’s another

🚩أجرى الباحثون عمليات محاكاة واسعة النطاق لتقليل درجات الحرارة والطاقة المستهلكة في عملية التبريد في حي "المصيف" بـ#الرياض، ووضعوا ثمانية سيناريوهات مختلفة لتخفيف درجات الحرارة وتحديد الإستراتيجيات المُثلى لتحقيق هذا الهدف.

🗨 طالع حوارنا مع العالم محمد ثروت حسن أستاذ الفيزياء وعلوم الليزر بجامعة أريزونا الأمريكية، والذي تتلمذ على يد اثنين من الحاصلين على جائزة نوبل.

يعتقد "حسن" أن التتلمذ على يد أساتذة حاصلين على نوبل ميزة كبيرة تتيح لك التعلم من أفضل العقول.👇
