Dementia is projected to triple globally by 2050, and experts note that early diagnosis is essential to quality of life. A study by @UTHealthSA scientists in @NatureComms found that current diagnostic approaches often show inconsistent performance: bit.ly/48caTXS

For students entering fields such as artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, computer science and data science, earning a degree is only part of preparing for the competitive job market. Knowing how to communicate their skills, build professional relationships and turn classroom knowledge into workplace experience can matter just as much.

The UT System Board of Regents has named 12 faculty members as recipients of the 2026 Regents’ Outstanding Teaching Awards, which recognize exceptional classroom performance and innovation. Each honoree was selected after a competitive, multi-stage review that examined the methods they use to engage students, evidence that those methods improve outcomes, and future strategies for sharing their approach with colleagues across the UT System.

Students at UT institutions aren't just using AI. They're building with it. At @UTEP, finance students created an investment committee made entirely of AI agents. One agent analyzes earnings, another tracks markets, and a risk agent reviews the final call. Watch here: youtu.be/HNmckLJmpMM?si=9JO3…

Shovels ready 🏗️ 🎓 Yesterday we broke ground on a new building at the UT Education and Research Center at Laredo. Growth in students and programs has outpaced the current footprint — this new building adds classrooms, teaching labs and research space to grow South Texas’s health care workforce. Laredo is the only place in Texas where students can earn degrees from @UTHealthHouston, @UTSA, @UTRGV and @UTMBHealth, all under one roof.

Most tribal communities are located in rural areas, where roadway pavement, markings and other infrastructure are often in poor condition. Communities often know where problems exist but lack the resources and staff to collect information that provides a complete picture. In response, @UTArlington researchers are working with the Pawnee Nation, Pyramid Lake Tribe and Colorado River Indian Tribes — using drones, sensors, video and lidar, depending on each community’s preferences — to develop safety plans and tangible improvements at the local level.

Algae have been found to have tremendous commercial applications, from pharmaceuticals to fuel to mining. More than half of the carbon dioxide removed naturally from the atmosphere is removed by algae.
