"A research seminar at UPD: UPGEOP"

There’s something wild about turning numbers into landscapes 🌄. geodetic engineering isn’t just maps and tools—it’s about crafting spaces that last, tracing the curves of the earth, and making the unthinkable real. ‘measure twice, build once’ isn’t a rule, it’s a promise. grateful to dive into this precision chaos with UP Geop 🗺️.

To those students who joined the UP geodetic engineering program 🤗, we would like to give you all a round of applause 👏 for your collaboration to the program, your minds are beyond the moon🚀🌑.

"A research webinar at UPLB: Colloquia"

Colloquia hits different. walls of theories, endless questions of "what if". Some nights the words didn’t fit, some days the idea is broke, but that's the point. it’s not about answers. It’s the mess, the loops, the people. we didn’t deliver knowledge, we fought it, messy and loud. if curiosity’s a drug, this was the high 📚🌀.

To the STE Students😎
Make the best beyond your limit✨️.Continue on the journey and we hope the best for y'all🫡.

IKnowVation fun fact:

Did you know❓️

●Study finds cell memory can be more like a dimmer dial than an on/off switch

-Traditionally, scientists have thought that
epigenetic memory locks genes either "on" or
"of" -- either fully activated or fully repressed.
But MIT engineers have found that a cell's
memory is set not only by on/off switching but
also through a more graded, dimmer-like dial of
gene expression.

IKnowVation Fun Fact: 🔋 Did you know? MIT researchers have created a new self-assembling material that could make electric vehicle batteries fully recyclable! ♻️ According to Yukio Cho, PhD ’23: “If we can start to recycle lithium-ion batteries from battery waste at scale, it’ll have the same effect as opening lithium mines in the U.S.” This breakthrough could transform how we power a sustainable future. 🌍⚡

💡 Science reminds us that every innovation—big or small—can spark change and open doors to new possibilities. Keep asking, keep exploring, and keep pushing boundaries! 💫

IKnowVation Fun Fact: ✨ Did you know? Before 1672, people thought white light was pure. Isaac Newton’s prism experiment revealed it’s actually a mix of rainbow colors 🌈—a breakthrough that kickstarted modern optics! 🔬

🌍 Did you know that one of the most famous stories in science says Newton discovered the theory of gravity while sitting under an apple tree? 🌳 According to legend, an apple 🍎 fell and struck his head💡, leading him to realize that the same force pulling the apple to Earth also keeps the moon in orbit and the Earth circling the sun—a force we now call gravity.

Newton's apple: The real story We've all heard the story. A young Isaac Newton is sitting beneath an apple tree contemplating the mysterious universe. Suddenly - b***k! -an apple hits him on the head. "Aha!" he shouts, or perhaps, "Eureka!" In a flash he understands that the very same force that brought the apple crashing toward....
