The comic below inspired the prompt for our #NoCoastSciComm #ScienceSlam: Tell us about a time you discovered you were wrong. How did you grow as a researcher & person? What new knowledge did you gain? What does this say about the role of “wrongness” in the scientific process?🤔

[No Coast SciComm @NoCoastSciComm]

Attention, #scicomm enthusiasts! THIS IS NOT A DRILL! Registration for #NoCoastSciComm will open next week, and we're thrilled to announce this year's conference theme:

[Crystal Uminski @CrystalUminski]

I am super excited to be a "Slammer" in this year's @UNLresearch Student Research Days Slam and have the opportunity to talk about why we should be thinking about the world in 3D! (And by 3D, I mean the 3 dimensions of science education.) Register to attend using the link below:

Liquids can take virtually any shape & deform instantly, while solids have interesting magnetic properties essential to modern electronics. But how about rigid, liquid magnets? Impossible? Not anymore, according to Robert Streubel of @UNLPhysics.

We think we know a lot about how liquids behave, but what happens when we look at them on very small length scales and very fast time scales? Ride the tiny-but-mighty new wave of nanofluidics in a mind- and matter-bending post by Matthew Pelton of @UMBC!

Guess where we are this week…#Wophys conference 🤩

Loved catching up with old friends.

Think #science and #art are worlds apart? Our #NSFfunded Research Experiences for Teachers participant @MrsMatulka shows how @UNLPhysics Profs. Adenwalla and Streubel use art to become better scientists, and use science to create art! #scicomm #sciart

If you've ever wondered, "What the heck is a #quantum?!", you are NOT alone! #NSFfunded Research Experiences for Teachers participant @MrsMatulka sorts it all out in this video, with a little help from @UNLPhysics Profs. Binek, Claes, and Dowben. #scicomm
