In honor of our first summer STEM Camp, we posted a story today about the #reelvsreal of technology depicted in the fictional nation of Wakanda.

Wakandan Technology Today: A CIA Scientist Explores the Possibilities

Marvel’s Black Panther & Avengers: Infinity War introduced the fictional African nation of Wakanda, where exclusive access to a unique metal called vibranium has helped drive the most technologically advanced country on the planet.
This future tech, much of it designed by super genius scientist & artist Shuri, permeates the movie… but how much of it is real, probable, or possible? How much of the movie’s futuristic technology is available to real-world intelligence officers today?
One of our most innovative scientists, “Rebecca”, has a background in traditional sciences, emerging technologies & digital innovation. As part of our #ReelvsRealCIA series, here’s her take on how Wakanda’s tech matches up with emerging “real life” tech:

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.

Monday, first topic: the journey to #scicomm.
There are plenty of ways to be involved in scicomm, as shown by the variety of hosts for this account.
I’ll discuss how I went from research to #scicomm, but I am curious about you.
What is your primary occupation?
If #scicomm is your primary occupation, which background do you have ?
If research is your primary occupation, what kind of #scicomm/outreach are you mostly involved in?
