Groundbreaking University of Nebraska–Lincoln research, innovation and faculty achievements are featured in two newly released publications. Both are available online and showcase the university’s continued impact in scientific discovery and creative scholarship.
The 2023-24 Research Report is a comprehensive look at the university’s academic and research excellence, targeted toward a national audience that includes peer institutions, Big Ten academic leaders, federal program officers, partners, alumni and the broader scientific community. The 2024 online edition features dynamic stories of faculty achievement across UNL’s nine academic colleges. Topics range from economic development and infrastructure upgrades to major honors and creative impact.
The cover features an artistic interpretation of corn DNA illustrated by Joel Brehm. It accompanies a story about Husker plant scientist James Schnable, who is part of an international research team that created the first complete map of the corn genome.
The online edition includes bonus content, including videos, photos and links to journal articles and related news stories.
Printed copies of an abridged impact report are available. To request copies, contact Ashley Washburn, director of research communications, at awashburn2@unl.edu.
