Nebraska NRT

The National Science Foundation Research Traineeship at Nebraska trained STEM graduate students in the resilience of agro-ecosystems from 2018-2024.

Our final "class photo" of 26 STEM students funded at the Nebraska NRT through the National Science Foundation. Thanks @NSF for helping us bring these students to @UNLincoln !

We’re kicking off the Competitiveness Conversation in Nebraska, focused on the bioeconomy—a sector projected to reach $30 trillion globally by 2050.

Powered by a land-grant system delivering research, teaching and Extension across all 93 counties, Nebraska is built to lead.

Presented at my first conference as a grad student FINALLY 🥳 So many great conversations. Fired up to get back in the field next summer. And I met THE killdeer queen @bellbirdsong_NZ 🥳🤯

One way to help pollinators in Nebraska is to plant some native plants in your garden🌷🌼🌹

SCREAMING! Can't believe today happened. Shout out to @Burkscognition for sharing this event with me and making sure we didn't miss it, and @UNLsbs for helping bring
@ravenscimaven to campus to come chat with us!❤️ #ScienceNeedsBlackWomen

In a study of @NebrWaterCenter, Craig Allen and other EPSCoR scientists suggest boundary organizations may bridge science and policy better by disseminating information in ways that include the views of people besides scientists and policymakers.

Remotely interesting: #NE_NRT alumni Catherine Chan has been using remote sensing to study the resilience of Nebraska Sandhills vegetation.

The two bees she found are the Osmia cyaneonitens and the Protandrena abdominalis.

Congratulations, Araceli, on the resilience shown in starting grad school during the pandemic lockdown and bringing your project to completion!

[Nebraska NRT @NebraskaNRT]

#NE_NRT student Araceli Gomez Villegas found two bees not commonly found in Nebraska while researching—and verifying—the importance of CRP lands to pollinators. Another successful master’s defense!

We had a hypothesis in 2017 that a #NSFNRT would work well at @UNLincoln . Now six years later, we will--ahem--analyze data and draw conclusions at a closing party on December 11 to culminate this successful experiment.

As you prepare to ace your finals, remember to take a break from studying and do something for yourself. You deserve it! A few ideas worth stepping away from your studies for a bit:

‣ Visit local shops
‣ Take in Zoo Lights
‣ Grab a bite
‣ Do something fun with friends

[Nebraska NRT @NebraskaNRT]

Exciting work by @unlsbs professor Dai Shizuka in ornithology. Thanks for including our #NE_NRT doctoral student Brandy Williams in the good work you do.

[UNL Diversity and Inclusion @UNL_ODI]

INCLUSIVE EXCELLENCE IN RESEARCH AND CREATIVITY | BIO-LEAPS has allowed Dr. Dai Shizuka and his team study various aspects of how having connections with people like themselves fosters a sense of belonging and how they can encourage them to pursue the love of research.

[Nebraska NRT @NebraskaNRT]

@NebraskaCRAWL @UNLSNR @Paul_Pierre016 Congrats, Paul! You gave an interesting presentation.

[Nebraska NRT @NebraskaNRT]

#NE_NRT student Jonathan Cronk successfully defended his master's thesis, which covered the complex relationship between aquifer overdraft and nitrate transport. Congratulations!
