Meeting Texas' healthcare needs starts long before a patient walks through the door. 🩺
At @utrgv, students in Laredo are preparing for careers in social work, counseling, and medical laboratory science, helping address critical workforce shortages while expanding access to healthcare and behavioral health services across South Texas.
Investing in local students today to strengthen communities for generations to come.

Today, we honor the veterans across the UT System whose service to our nation continues to strengthen our communities, classrooms, research labs, hospitals, and workplaces across Texas. Veterans bring leadership, resilience, and a commitment to serving others long after their military service ends. We are proud to support those who have served and to celebrate the many ways they continue making a difference.

How “scoopable” is frigid Moon soil? 🌑🥄 @NASA needs to know as it looks to build bases on the Moon and utilize resources on the surface. In response, @UTSA researchers are recreating lunar conditions in the lab to learn how ice, soil and rocks behave in extreme conditions.
In a $1 million @NASA-funded project, UT San Antonio researchers will look at how icy lunar soil behaves in the extreme cold of the moon's permanently shadowed regions.
The effort, a collaboration with @SwRI, could improve the way scientists extract, transport and process resources during future lunar missions.

Two UT institutions, one goal: better treatments for one of the most aggressive forms of breast cancer. Unlike other types, inflammatory breast cancer currently has no specific therapies for treatment. Researchers at @UTAustin and @MDAndersonNews are combining engineering, biology and AI to change that. 🔬
