Turns out the secret ingredient to successful science education might be: lab skills + YouTube + Ghostbusters references.

UAB School of Health Professions' “Dr. Sheeler’s Lab Shorts” series is helping students learn complex molecular lab techniques through short, engaging videos filmed right inside the lab. Originally created for students in the biotechnology program, the videos are now reaching learners far beyond UAB.

One video alone has more than 11,000 views! It's a pretty great example of how faculty innovation and digital storytelling can work together.

From designing Baja vehicles to documenting his engineering journey on social media, Daniel Hollingsworth embodies the curiosity, initiative, and creativity shaping the next generation of engineers.

During his time at UAB, Daniel balanced internships, undergraduate research, student leadership, and hands-on vehicle design while preparing for a future career in engineering (possibly even Formula 1 racing). Along the way, he learned an important lesson: growth happens outside your comfort zone.

Meet UAB Dentistry's wildest patient: Beauregard, a green aracari and a current resident of The Birmingham Zoo. After he damaged his upper beak at 3 months old, Beauregard found himself at UAB Dentistry with our specialists for a new beak.

Using dental impression materials usually reserved for humans, the UAB team crafted a custom, lightweight prosthetic beak. They even color-matched it perfectly!

Now at 11 months old, Beauregard is thriving—eating, flying, and socializing just like any other bird!
