NU federal relations team tours research facilities

The University of Nebraska’s federal government relations team held its quarterly meeting April 26 in Lincoln. The group toured the Center for Brain, Biology and Behavior, as well as Virtual Incision’s new offices at Nebraska Innovation Campus.

Bob Wilhelm, vice chancellor for research and economic development, gave a briefing during lunch regarding economic development activities at NIC. Husker researchers Craig Allen, Dirac Twidwell and Liz VanWormer closed the day by updating attendees on their research about resilience in working landscapes.

The federal relations team, composed of members from all four NU campuses, is charged with communicating policy and funding impacts to Nebraska’s congressional delegation.
