We’re kicking off the Competitiveness Conversation in Nebraska, focused on the bioeconomy—a sector projected to reach $30 trillion globally by 2050.
Powered by a land-grant system delivering research, teaching and Extension across all 93 counties, Nebraska is built to lead.

One way to help pollinators in Nebraska is to plant some native plants in your garden🌷🌼🌹
Check out this Nebraska Extension guide for pollinator planting in your own backyard: brnw.ch/21wIVjt

In a study of @NebrWaterCenter, Craig Allen and other EPSCoR scientists suggest boundary organizations may bridge science and policy better by disseminating information in ways that include the views of people besides scientists and policymakers.

#NE_NRT student Araceli Gomez Villegas found two bees not commonly found in Nebraska while researching—and verifying—the importance of CRP lands to pollinators. Another successful master’s defense!

We had a hypothesis in 2017 that a #NSFNRT would work well at @UNLincoln . Now six years later, we will--ahem--analyze data and draw conclusions at a closing party on December 11 to culminate this successful experiment.

As you prepare to ace your finals, remember to take a break from studying and do something for yourself. You deserve it! A few ideas worth stepping away from your studies for a bit:
‣ Visit local shops
‣ Take in Zoo Lights
‣ Grab a bite
‣ Do something fun with friends

Congrats to Emily Rowen on defending her master’s thesis, “Human Dimensions of Woody Encroachment Management,” today! A surprising finding: even Nebraskans not connected to land management help neighbors with it.
