The sad reality behind the 'Are You Dead?' app
Q: How do you think loneliness shows up in people's lives, especially here in the UAE?

How to build a dinosaur
Q: What do you hope that the next generation takes from seeing you in this space?
Noura hopes that young Emiratis will feel inspired to pursue careers in science and conservation, seeing themselves reflected in the museum's mission and achievements.
