What an inspiring and re-energizing week at the Natural Hazards Workshop, where we reconnected and newly connected with so many outstanding colleagues — a chance to share our research and learn so much from others across career stages in the community! #HazWS@HazCenter@NIST
Are you looking for an amazing postdoc opportunity to work on research related to the socioeconomics of #community#resilience and #climate? Come work with me at @NIST ! Info in this thread! Feel free to ask me any questions #HazWS@HazCenter
We have special connections to our nation’s symbols of freedom. Open up the NIST Time Capsule and find out how we kept Lady Liberty standing tall against the threat of corrosion: nist.gov/nist-time-capsule/f…#FourthOfJuly

Our #BAFDisasterDash 5k playlists = Beyoncé, Beyoncé, and MORE Beyoncé! Our committee members are putting on their running shoes and channeling their inner Queen B as they prepare to slay the Disaster Dash 5K. 👑🏃♀️#DisasterDash2023
The investigation into the 2021 partial collapse of Champlain Towers South in Surfside, Florida, continues. Find the latest updates here: nist.gov/disaster-failure-st…
ALT The site of the Champlain Towers South partial collapse in Surfside, Florida.
Finally able to share this incredible story, years in the making! We’ve been looking for the neural pathways that detect patterns of visual motion resulting from body movements (aka optic flow)…and we found some super interesting new ones!

Synchronizing clocks around the world (and in space) with 10,000 times greater accuracy may become a reality, thanks to a new method from NIST.
Here’s how: nist.gov/news-events/news/20…
ALT A satellite connects two locations on the earth’s surface by means of signals that use the same technology as an experiment that beamed laser light between two mountaintops in Hawaii'.
we have 2 open positions in our newly established NeuroEngineering team. These positions could be perfect for grad students who love working on technical projects for lab science, but not so sure about moving on to a postdoc. Please consider this exciting alternative! (1/2)
🔬🧠🐁🐟🧪 Join us at Janelia! 2 awesome new positions, perfect for engineers/scientists who love building tools/methods/rigs/software enabling mind-blowing experiments. You'll work with many labs, great people, amazing place & super-cool instruments!

The SLC and the undergraduate teams are hard at work setting up for the 2023 Seismic Design Competition as #EERI2023AM gets underway! We're excited to have 34 teams representing 10 countries this year, with more than 370 students taking part.
You can now register separately to attend just tomorrow evening's Kahramanmaraş Earthquake Special Session (5-8 PM) at EERI's annual meeting in San Francisco! More info here: eeri.org/2023-special-sessio…
Only this week will you see wooden structural models being carried around (zoom in) the streets of San Francisco👇 in preparation for the Seismic Design Competition 😄 Good luck to all the students 💪
Everyone ready for the @EERI_tweets Annual Meeting and @eeri_slc Seismic Design Competition? 10 years ago the SDC was hosted in Seattle here is a throwback video: youtu.be/F8bmWAwMDoc. See you all in SF! Shake shake shake!
