"There is a well-established and active science of complexity; there is no science of simplicity. How do we rationalize the process of creating a simple system, how does one quantify simplicity, and how does one plan a study of simplicity?" George Whitesides

Main stage loading!! Interesting and informative discussion on emerging partnerships across Africa!!

I am looking forward to giving a plenary talk this morning at #Science in the Savannah, in #Nairobi, following our star alumna, Prof. @SAClaridge, all hosted by Prof. Martin Thuo @mmthuo bit.ly/SciSav26 #nano #materials #sustainability

With the war in the gulf getting crazy, @WilliamsRuto don’t send my brothers to a war that has nothing to do with the continent the way you sent cops to Haiti.

Thanks for the shoutout

How complex are seeds and other granular matter? a ton! We use graph theory to better understand granular flow & eliminate toxic products from farms! Enjoy Graph theory-based bio-derived solid lubricant: Matter cell.com/matter/fulltext/S25…

It’s lovely to hear from former students and current students. Best feedback ever!! @smmtgroup you rock!!

Patent #32 granted!! Congratulations @smmtgroup for great work! Keep being creative!

Are we Kenyans the most indefatigable runners or what? Congratulations Beatrice!

Last evening, we were proud to induct the newest class of NAI Fellows into the Academy. The highest professional distinction awarded solely to inventors, this distinction recognizes a lifetime of innovation, impact, and leadership in invention. These scholars have not only advanced knowledge, but improved lives. We were privileged to have Will Covey, Acting Deputy Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property and Acting Deputy Director of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (@uspto), join us to help induct these phenomenal innovators. The newest class of NAI Fellows includes 170 exceptional inventors from 39 U.S. states and 12 countries. Hailing from 135 research universities, governmental and non-profit research institutions worldwide, collectively they hold over 5,000 patents and their work advancing science and technology for the betterment of humanity spans disciplines. Thank you once again to #NAIMemberInstitution @kennesawstate for presenting the Fellows Induction Ceremony at #NAI2025! It is an honor for us to welcome the newest class of NAI Fellows into the Academy. Congratulations to our new Fellows! #Invention #Innovation #NAI2025 #Leaders #Visionaries #AdvancingInnovation

Proud to be inducted as fellow of @AcadofInventors. Best F*** u to the university systems that sidelined me for innovation awards even when I contributed ~10% of university wide granted patents. @IAStateResearch @iastate @IowaStateU

From a small village to the records of U.S. congress! It took a village (literally) to get here.

Mkae mkijua hii vita ya bad governance tunapigana home and away. Msiogope kuinject mpaka nyumbani. I shared a video in our extended family WhatsApp group before hitting the streets and the response was rather appalling! We shall educate these oldies by whatever means!
