Celebrating and strengthening the Nebraska Research community

At the Nov. 6-8 fall Research Fair, the university community celebrated faculty accomplishments at the annual Faculty Recognition Breakfast; learned how to partner with foundations and industry through workshops and panels; and explored other research topics like gene sequencing, leadership opportunities for women in science and team building for interdisciplinary projects.

The fair included Eileen Hebets’ Nebraska Lecture, “Using Arachnids to Inspire D.R.E.A.M.S.,” in which she discussed her groundbreaking discoveries, passion for informal science education and the curiosity and persistence underlying her arachnid and animal behavior research. Hebets is a professor of biological sciences. Watch the Nebraska Lecture.

The Office of Research and Economic Development sponsors the biannual fair in cooperation with campus partners.
