A special thanks to Wenya Froling Titzler, UCSB undergraduate student for creating the iQB2 video content featured here. Wenya is a graduating senior in the Film and Media Studies department, specializing in film production and storytelling.
On campus, she is involved in student short films and UCSB's literature club. She currently works as the Associated Students videographer, Pollock Theater event staff, and freelance videographer.

When UC Santa Barbara materials scientist Omar Saleh and graduate student Ian Morgan sought to understand the mechanical behaviors of disordered proteins in the lab, they expected that after being stretched, one particular model protein would snap back instantaneously, like a rubber band.

Instead, this disordered protein relaxed slowly, taking tens of minutes to relax into its original shape — a behavior that defied expectations, and hinted at an inner structure that was long thought to exist, but has been difficult to prove.
