In this episode of Trending Echoes, we welcome two remarkable guests, Dr. Firas Habal, President of the Emirates Scholar Center for Research and Studies, and Dr. Fawaz Habal, Director General of the same centre. The twins are leading figures in scientific research, innovation, and excellence. The episode focuses on the importance of scientific research for youth, its impact on intellectual and professional growth, and how to inspire the next generation to engage in research.Key Points:Introduction of Guests:Dr. Firas and Dr. Fawaz are identical twins who have dedicated their careers to scientific research and innovation.They emphasize that scientific research is not just a profession but a way of life.Twin Dynamics:Growing up as twins, they shared a passion for academia and research, which evolved into their current roles.Their twin dynamic helps them complement each other professionally and personally, allowing them to tackle challenges more effectively.Importance of Scientific Research for Youth:Dr. Firas highlights that curiosity is the foundation of research. Young people are naturally curious, and this curiosity should be nurtured to develop their research skills.Research is not just about proving something right but also about questioning and exploring new ideas.Challenges in Scientific Research:Dr. Fawaz discusses the "Three R's" of challenges: Responsibility, Resources, and Reliability.Institutions like the Emirates Scholar Center aim to bridge the gap between academia, the public sector, and the private sector, providing reliable resources and simplifying the research process for young people.Role of AI in Research:AI tools like ChatGPT can assist in research but must be used ethically. AI can help streamline the research process, but it should not replace critical thinking and curiosity.The twins conducted an experiment showing how AI can negotiate and adapt, unlike humans who often struggle with being told they are wrong.Initiatives by the Emirates Scholar Center:The center has launched several initiatives, including the Salaam AI tool, which provides answers related to peace and coexistence in multiple languages.They also developed a historical Arabic dictionary and transformed it into an AI-powered platform to make it more accessible.Future of Scientific Research:The future of research lies in its ability to support decision-making and adapt to rapid technological changes.The twins believe that AI will continue to evolve, but humans must also evolve their minds to use AI effectively and ethically.Advice for Young Researchers:Dr. Firas advises young researchers to embrace curiosity and not fear failure. Failure is a step toward success.Dr. Fawaz encourages young people to use AI ethically and to focus on transforming their ideas into impactful research.#ScientificResearch #YouthEmpowerment #ResearchMatters #Innovation#Curiosity #AIinResearch #FutureOfResearch #stemeducation #ResearchImpact #TwinPower #EmiratesScholar #UAEInnovation #ResearchForChange #YouthInScience #ResearchSkills #AIandResearch#EthicalAI #ResearchLeadership #AcademicExcellence #ResearchJourney#ScienceForYouth #ResearchCulture #NextGenResearchers #ResearchAndDevelopment #AIEthics #ResearchInitiatives #YouthLeadership #ResearchAndInnovation #ScientificCuriosity #ResearchForFuture #AIandYouth #ResearchCommunity #ScienceAndTechnology #ResearchForImpact #YouthInSTEM#ResearchAndAI #ScientificExploration #ResearchForProgress#AIandEducation #ResearchForSociety #YouthAndResearch#ResearchAndCuriosity #AIandInnovation #ResearchForYouth#ScienceForChange #ResearchAndGrowth #AIandFuture#ResearchAndInspiration #YouthAndInnovation #ResearchAndExcellence
