Today, one of the KAUST scientists quite literally Today, one of the KAUST scientists quite literally took my son under his wing to view his research lab. My son was so happy to see and learn about the cutting edge research happening there. It's moments like this that shape a scientifically-minded child's hopes and dreams. Big thanks to the research team who seemed energized by his visit and delighted to inspire his future. #futurescientist #scienceinspiration #inspiration #growingup
I had the incredible opportunity to meet some visi I had the incredible opportunity to meet some visiting students from the US state of Oregon yesterday. They seemed so excited to be here and to learn about #Saudi and #KAUST. I heard about their impressions and shared my experience as an American #expat in Saudi and a bit about the pace of the positive changes that are happening here at lightning speed. This quote from Thomas L. Friedman from a recent New York Times really resonates: "If you have not been to Saudi Arabia in the past five years, you may as well have not been there at all." #kaust #mylifeinsaudi #expatlife #majlis #usainksa #saudilife #visitsaudi #3rdculture

Enjoyed a lovely walk along the monkey trail in Au Enjoyed a lovely walk along the monkey trail in Au Nang, Thailand today. It is a short path over a steep limestone cliff to a hidden beach accessible only by this path or boat. Can you guess why it's called the monkey trail? 🙊 #aunang #monkeytrail #thailand #lifeisgood #travelwithkids #macaque #babymonkey #havekidswilltravel #adventurekids
Around once or twice per year we try to make it ou Around once or twice per year we try to make it out to go snorkeling on a private boat trip in the #RedSea coast off of #kaust. On our most recent trip, the water was so perfectly flat that it looked like ice when we were cruising, and had 15+ meters of excellent visibility when we were anchored. We enjoyed snorkeling over a shipwreck and even saw a friendly pod of dolphins who swam along with us for awhile. If you live at kaust, @kaust.life offers weekly group trips or you can do a private hire trip like we did. Cannot recommend this trip enough. #kaustlife #redseasnorkeling #mylifeinsaudi #explorearabia #redsea #thisisnotthemaldives #dolphins #cementwreck #clearbluesea #paradise #saudiarabia #jeddahblogger #saudidolphins #dolphinsounds #snorkelingtrip #shipwreck #nowind #highvisibility #beautifulplaces #travel #wandurlust #vacation #staycation #visitsaudi #visitarabia #boating #cruising #beautifuldestinations #destinationkaust 🔊 Sound on to hear the deep breath of the dolphins 🐬

Had a great time at yesterday's #SciCafe hosted by Had a great time at yesterday's #SciCafe hosted by @kaust_research with Drs Imed Gallouzi, Leena Ibrahim, and Khaled Salama. It was focused on the topic of #SmartHealth. They talked about the future of medicine including topics like #onehealth #personalizedmedicine #precisionmedicine #medicaldevices #preparedness #ethics #privacy and more. There is a significant focus on Saudi's national priorities in these areas. KAUST researchers are working with Saudi hospitals to lead these important strategic initiatives for the Kingdom and the world. My favorite part was hearing the importance of scientists communicating about these developments to prepare the general public for the future of medicine. Such an important - but easily forgotten - step. SciCafe aims to do just that! 👏👏👏 #kaustresearch #besekaust
The first ever Plant Science Family Night organize The first ever Plant Science Family Night organized by the @kaustcda and @thekaustschool was a huge success! This event is designed to be a community science showcase, that features hands-on demonstrations and other family and kid-friendly activities, shines a spotlight on a broad range of formal and informal plant science and scientists who promote an interest in science for children.  #plantscience #destinationkaust #besekaust #kaustlife @kaust.life
Lovely time at the #KAUST #ParadeOfNations celebra Lovely time at the #KAUST #ParadeOfNations celebrating the truly global DNA of our community.
