http://saudiaggie.blogspot.com/2010/06/next-kaust-class.html
Thursday, June 17, 2010. The Next KAUST Class. Just two days after completing my last final, I was whisked away to College Station in my home state of Texas to help with the KAUST Pre-Departure Orientation for next year's class of graduate students who are currently in the USA and Canada. This is only a small fraction of the incoming students, there will also be orientations in London, Mexico City, Beijing, Cairo, and Jeddah. Congratulations to the new incoming class!

Saudi Aggie: February 2010
http://saudiaggie.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 26, 2010. Red Sea at our Fingertips. I went snorkeling with two friends this morning in a lagoon near KAUST. The guy at right is a marine scientist who studies coral reef conservation and loves fish - I think if he could grow gills and live in the water he would. He was our informal guide on this trip and talked about the coral, crabs and snails, stingrays, and especially the fish as if they were all dear friends of his. I have been informed that the authorization for the release of the ...

Saudi Aggie: While I was away...
http://saudiaggie.blogspot.com/2010/12/while-i-was-away.html
Monday, December 13, 2010. While I was away. Life has been busy - and blessed - since returning to the USA in May. I spent some time with my wife in New York, got a job as a process engineer for a start-up company called e2e Materials. And have generally just been living life. On another note - my home has had snow all month. There was quite a bit on the ground when I left. Saudi Arabia's mild, warm winter is a pretty nice break for now. December 13, 2010 at 10:21 AM. Where is the story abut gradation?

Saudi Aggie: Life is Full of Changes
http://saudiaggie.blogspot.com/2010/12/life-is-full-of-changes.html
Wednesday, December 15, 2010. Life is Full of Changes. It is hard to believe that the first KAUST masters student graduation and commencement is tomorrow! An impressive majority (more than 50 percent) of these graduating students have chosen not to leave, but to continue their education at KAUST this coming year - either by beginning a thesis project or going straight to Ph.D. research. December 26, 2010 at 7:21 PM. Does this mean that Kaust is considered a success? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

http://saudiaggie.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 25, 2009. I am thankful for a multicultural group of friends to feast with! We shared a wonderful Thanksgiving evening together. I cooked mashed potatoes and banana bread.

Tuesday, November 24, 2009. Right be...

Destination Desert: Studying in Saudi Arabia: November 2009
http://noahinsaudi.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Destination Desert: Studying in Saudi Arabia. Sunday, November 22, 2009. KSA, oil and the world: thoughts from Shaybah (retro post). Can't wait to send photos home; here I look at where dead dinosaurs get pulled from the ground and changed into your fuel. I visit the place where your car's engines know intimately; suddenly, all your past vehicles and I have a common link. FIND OUT on this trip the markets for this product - could I have gassed up w/ Shaybah fuel before? Asks a be-abaya'd woman visiting w...

http://noahinsaudi.blogspot.com/2010/03/charistmatic-kaust-beach-animals.html
Destination Desert: Studying in Saudi Arabia. Thursday, March 11, 2010. Charistmatic KAUST Beach Animals! Several weeks ago, KAUST workers. Only 2-3 meters) when snorkeling to get a closer look. The following photos (with cool informative captions) were all taken from within the swimming area of the KAUST beach, most below 1 meter depth. I invite you all to see the intertidal ecosystem you now have access to, but may have passed over; diver, snorkeler or just beachcomber, there is much to see! A cool blu...

Destination Desert: Studying in Saudi Arabia: January 2010
http://noahinsaudi.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Destination Desert: Studying in Saudi Arabia. Wednesday, January 20, 2010. What do you think is the culture of KAUST? Said the man with the camcorder. We'll call him Mohammed, to keep things anonymous. His plan was to bring 30-ish 30-second video responses to that inquiry to "upper administration," including a few members of the Board of Trustees, to try to get them to understand what is going on amongst us. Us, the queer commoners. Start thinking this way? Why don't we have access to scientific journals?
