Student Research Days this month will highlight UNL graduate and undergraduate students’ research, scholarship and creative activity.
Poster sessions are scheduled April 15-16 in the Nebraska Union. Undergrads will present their work from 10 a.m. to noon on both days, while grad students will present from 3-5 p.m. both days.
The annual Student Research Days Slam on April 17 will feature seven students presenting their work in short, dynamic talks. This year’s Slam talks will reflect on the prompt: “If you could travel into the past or the future to tell people about your research or creative endeavor, where would you go, who would you talk with and what would you tell them?”
Slammers were chosen from applications. They are:
- Jocelyn Bullock (graduate student), agricultural leadership, education and communication; “Casks of Courage: My Ancestors’ Legacy in America’s Craft Beverages”
- Lance Buscher (junior), business administration, and Kenny Morales (junior), software engineering; “LifelineLinks: Nurturing Connections, Breaking Loneliness”
- Emma Conradi (graduate student) speech-language pathology; “A World Where Everyone Has an Equal Opportunity to Succeed!”
- Shilu Dahal (graduate student), plant pathology; “Rewriting History with Natural Defenders”
- Libia Gomez-Trejo (graduate student), complex biosystems; “Why and How Your Precious Maize Needs to be Cured”
The winner will receive a $500* prize, and the other finalists will each receive $100!
Audience members will vote to select a winner. Reserve your seat to attend.
