Reference excerpt

Rida Ahmed al-Tubuly (Arabic: رضا الطبولي Riḍā aṭ-Ṭubūlī; born 1967, also Reda, Al-Tubuly, Al Tubuly, al-Tabuly) is a Libyan pharmacologist and activist. She teaches at the University of Tripoli as a professor of pharmacology. She is an activist for equality and has campaigned to implement United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325. She was selected as one of the BBC 100 Women in 2019.

Early life and education Al-Tubuly first encountered gender discrimination at the age of five, when she wasn't allowed to accompany her brothers playing outside. Al-Tubuly studied at the University of Warsaw, and graduated with a Master's degree in 1987. She moved to the United Kingdom for her graduate studies, earning a doctoral degree in pharmacology at Imperial College London in 1997. She has also earned a Master of Laws in international human rights law the University of Essex.

Research As well as being a professor of pharmacology at the University of Tripoli, al-Tubuly served as Head of Medicine Registration at the Libyan Ministry of Health.

Social activism Al-Tubuly founded Maan Nabneeha Movement – Together We Build It (TWBI), a non-profit organisation that looks to engage young people and women in politics, in 2011. It founded the 1325 network, a collective of civil society organisations that looks to implement United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325, a resolution that focussed on women, peace and security. She co-authored the first civil report on the UNSCR 1325 which was launched in New York City in 2014. TWBI also established the Libyan Women Database, a network of professional women across Libya. From 2012 al-Tubuly worked to empower women in the democratic process. She has encouraged women to be more involved with decision making and supporting them in running for office. She has questioned why the United Nations have not involved Libyan women in peace talks, when women have had suffered considerably during the war. She has discussed how war impacts women and girls' freedom of movement and access to education. She believes there should be a total ban on arms trade with Libya. Al-Tubuly has provided evidence to the United Nations Human Rights Council on women's rights in Libya. She serves as an Expert for the Council of Europe. She was named as one of the BBC 100 Women in 2019.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Rida al-Tubuly

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Rida al-Tubuly claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In astronomy, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Rida al-Tubuly before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Rida al-Tubuly ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Rida al-Tubuly

In research: Rida al-Tubuly appears in astronomy research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Rida al-Tubuly in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Rida al-Tubuly is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1957 births, Academic staff of the University of Tripoli, Alumni of Imperial College London, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Rida al-Tubuly outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
