Great write up on our IDEAS project! Has been a pleasure to work with @asdnestnyu New York Hall of Science NYU Tandon R. Luke DuBois NYC Public Schools Center for Children & Technology @saracamnasio Subigya Basnet @nyusteinhardt U.S. National Science Foundation Agree.. we need more programs like this for a wide range of abilities...!!

Hey, have you ever won a trip to Mars courtesy of space jillionaire corinne caputo + space expert Loren Grush?? You could! Ask @saracamnasio - she and comedian Will Martinez won tonight!! And got to wear those sweet threads 🚀💫 CAVEAT

Such an honour to be a part of this exciting and deeply meaningful collaboration! A shout out to some of my fellow explorer team members around the world @mudskippermuses @diegoleonbarido Ashli Akins @saracamnasio Karine Sarkissian Kimberly Waite @kellkoll Anusha Shankar @tarakeir and more!

3 trees : Stone pine, olive and carob 3 countries : Lebanon 🇱🇧 , Italy 🇮🇹 and Spain 🇪🇸 3 women : Magda BOU DAGHER Sara camnasio Maria Contreras Coll are hitting the road 🚙 to uncover stories about the entangled destiny of people & trees in the Mediterranean National Geographic Society

At Sicily's oldest chocolate factory, Bonajuto carob is used both as a thickener (from the seeds, known as locust bean gum) and as flour (from the pods). A family tradition passed down through generations, adding value and connecting the product to its local roots.

Though kilometers apart, the same technique was used to build terraces and create land separations/demarcations. #Catalunya #Sicilia

An unexpected use for carob leaves 🫶🏻🥹 #EntangledDestiny @Entangled_Destiny National Geographic Society EFI Mediterranean Facility

National Geographic Society EFI Mediterranean Facility Carob has also been used for ethanol production. One such story comes from everyday life in Pozzallo, where Antonio, now 85, began working at just 13 - with a special permit- in Giuffrida, operating an ethanol factory from carob extract. #EntangledDestiny

Where better to hold a carob workshop than under a carob tree? Visitors explored carob molasses from 🇱🇧 and carob chocolate from 🇪🇸, how carob spread across the Mediterranean - local selections for different uses. So much to learn from each other! #EntangledDestiny

Checked on the oldest carob trees in Sicili. Found traces of centuries-old grafting skills. Hard to define their exact age, as the trees decay from within. But every wrinkle, new shoot, and dead branch tells the intertwined story of these trees and the humans who've shaped them

Spent the 1st day in #Trevi admiring hands, worn by time, rich with wisdom, and listening to words from a fading era—a bridge to a past slipping away. Cherishing these moments feels like bottling history in extremis, as the #olive groves whisper their multigenerational secrets.

The *Sant’Emiliano* olive tree—estimated to be 1,830 yo and one of the oldest in Italy—is believed to be the very tree under which St. Emiliano, Trevi’s first bishop, was martyred. 'they tied him to a young olive tree,' where he was ultimately beheaded. fasciaolivata.it/en/the-millena…

Hojiblanca, Picual, Arbequina, Manzanilla… Hundreds of olive varieties in #Spain. Beyond the names: diverse cultivation, tradition meets cutting-edge tech—a testament to human ingenuity. Learning continues in Sevilla with Entangled Destiny EFI Mediterranean Facility.

Taking a well-earned break after years of helping young olive branches grow horizontally Hanging weights on young olive branches helps shape the tree, promoting outward growth for better sunlight, easier harvesting, and higher fruit production. #traditional #technique #Olive

Lunch time at the telescope! A good chance to chat shop with fellow astronomers. #astronomy #lifeatlco @saracamnasio

The girls are ready to parallax! Except high humidity has us closed. @saracamnasio Lil Brown Dwarf 🔮 Haley Fica #womeninSTEM
