We Test to Understand. We Research to Protect.
At FIU's NSF-NHERI Wall of Wind, researchers are testing manufactured homes to better understand how they fail.
Discover how FIU research is helping advance safer, more resilient affordable housing: lnkd.in/e5Xi4Yq5

Interested in @NOAA Hurricane Hunter deployments? Join the NHERI DesignSafe Slack channel for realtime #HurricaneIsaias updates, from a host of hurricane researchers and first reponders: designsafe-ci.org/community/slac…
Most recently the satellite prestentation of Isaias has deterioated somewhat, which lends further credence to the idea that the increase in wind shear has finally caused the intensity to at least level off. NOAA Hurricane Hunters are now going back in to investigate Isaias

Grateful for the founding partners of the NSF X-Labs Consortium! Together, @AsteraInstitute; @Ginkgo; Tom Secunda at the @secundafund, @SloanFoundation, and other national philanthropic partners; and @mattcimaglia with @OccamFoundry and the @FLQuantumCenter will help NSF X-Labs launch a new generation of independent research organizations accelerating the pace of scientific discovery.

Another seismic retrofit completed! 🏢✅
Strengthening vulnerable buildings helps protect lives, reduce earthquake risks, and build safer communities.
At Optimum Seismic, we're proud to be part of the solution!

Great to see everyone!
We were excited to share some photos from the recent 40th Anniversary celebration for the @LehighATLSS at @LehighU. Founded in 1986, ATLSS continues to contribute to engineering research and practice.
