Science doesn’t stay in a laboratory. It reaches our farms, our kitchens, our hospitals, our small businesses— and our everyday lives.

When we invest in scientific research, we invest in stronger communities and a better future for all of us.

Knowledge is power. And science belongs to everyone.

I am partnering with the American Physical Society (APS) to share why continued investment is scientific research matters.

I bet most of you have never heard of SHANKLEESH, unless you grew up in Syria or Lebanon.

It’s one of those foods that proves our ancestors were pretty clever: turning yogurt into a cheese that could be dried, aged in order to keep for years.

And yes….shankleesh has a personality. You either love it or hate it. 😀The smell can be strong, but the flavor is wonderful especially with tomatoes, mint and olive oil.

Some foods you love before you even taste them because they carry the smell and memories of home. ❤️

Have you ever tried shankleesh?

Some memories come back with just a smell.

The smell of bread on the tanoor takes me straight back to my grandmother’s fresh bread, zaatar, makdous and a kitchen filled with a smell I wish I could bottle.

In the old days in our Syrian village, each part of the village had a tanoor, and families would take turns coming to bake their bread. It wasn’t just about making bread. It was part of village life, women sharing stories, kids waiting for the fresh bread and men getting the woods.

To this day, I don’t think there is better bread in the world. 🥖❤️👵
