 Hi, my name is Dan Duncan and I'm the Executive Director of Nebraska Innovation Campus. We are thrilled to be part of the research infrastructure that helps faculty and private industry sector talent create things that really can be created on campus. We are thrilled to be part of Research Week and hope that you take this opportunity to learn more about your colleagues. And if you want to learn more about Nebraska Innovation Campus, please go to our website www.innovate.unl.edu. Thank you. Hi, my name is Xihua Xiang. I'm an Associate Professor at the NABLASA Center for Biology. As a virologist, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, our lab has been developing a vaccine to combat these respiratory transmitted diseases. Our vaccine may be a new class vaccine by which a yellow-cell spray in the nose and mouth may suffice for immunization and protection. Hi, I am Heather Richard Rosetto and I'm in the School of Global Integrative Studies. Initially, I was drawn to UNL because of CDRH, one of the most renowned centers in the world for digital humanities. I consider myself an archaeologist, a digital humanist, and a wannabe geographer. And since day one, UNL has provided me opportunities as well as the freedom to pursue all three of these avenues in my research and my teaching. UNL offers flexibility. I've been able to experiment, to play, and to connect with other scholars at UNL and beyond in creative ways. I work with engineers, humanists, computer scientists, all of these together in truly collaborative ways at the local, national, and international scales. My name is Megan Elliott. I'm the founding director of the Johnny Carson Center for Emerging Media Arts. At the Carson Center, we are multidisciplinary artists and engineers exploring the poetic intersection of humans and machines. We exploit the potential of new technologies while critically revealing their limits. We teach artist data science and scientists how to tell stories. We design computer simulations and explore what it means to be embodied in mixed virtual and augmented realities. Our methodologies include awareness-based design, world building, and the cinematic arts. Our researchers collaborate across disciplines designing new futures into being using the platform of storytelling. And all of this could only happen at Nebraska because of the bold vision, the lack of silos, and the extraordinary investment. Hello, everyone. Rajeeb Sahar, assistant professor, chemical and biomolecular engineering. I'm Nebraska research because I look at global problems through Nebraska lenses. My lab works on systems and synthetic biology of microbes, plants, and microbial ecosystems. Nebraska provides me the right environment and infrastructure to work on my projects such as developing stress resilient plants and also using plant-derived lignin, which is abundant around us to produce something that is biodegradable, environmental friendly, and above everything that is useful. So thank you, Nebraska research. Go big red. Hi, my name is Emily Brown and I'm the education supervisor at the University of Nebraska State Museum. And we have the unique opportunity here of showcasing the amazing research being done by faculty at the university through one of our many outreach programs let's Sunday with a scientist that reach students, families, lifelong learners. And while our physical doors were closed this summer, we were able to have a virtual presence and continue to showcase the amazing work that's being done with wide audiences. We reached over 150,000 people alone in June and July. So we're excited because we get to show the world that there really is no place like Nebraska.
