For @math_umd junior Lauren DePaola, quantitative skills are tools to help the planet 🌏 https://t.co/NjdBl9LnO7

Lauren uses these skills to study large-scale weather patterns with @AOSC_UMD's Maria Molina, and she is setting her sights on a career in environmental #DataScience.

Today, and every day, we honor those who have served.

UMD's Memorial Chapel invites Terps to visit the Garden Labyrinth today to reflect, and join us for a vigil honoring Terp veterans we've lost.

A telescope co-developed by a @UMDscience astronomer is moving from planning to building and executing the mission of visualizing cataclysmic deep-space explosions.

@NASA advanced the Ultraviolet Explorer (UVEX) to final design and fabrication, and has scheduled it to launch by January 2031. The $590 million multi-institutional mission led by Caltech proposes to observe ultraviolet radiation from the entire sky with unprecedented sensitivity. It will also zoom in on kilonovae, which follow the collision of two neutron stars, and supernovae, which occur when massive stars explode. Astronomy Associate Professor Suvi Gezari is the mission’s dynamic universe lead, spearheading science on these transient phenomena.

“It’s really exciting for us to advance to the next stage because we've put a lot of work into this initial mission-planning phase,” Gezari said. “This new ultraviolet window into the universe will yield many discoveries and will be a huge advance in our field, especially for studying energetic explosions in the universe.”

#AMA happening tomorrow!

[UMD Science @UMDscience]

In his book, "The Other Big Bang," #UMD biologist Eric Haag set out to answer the question: Why do we have sexes (and sex) at all?

In tomorrow's (11/4) #RedditAMA, Eric will answer your questions about the evolution of reproduction—submit question(s) now: https://t.co/g0XtH50nv7
