Good afternoon, Nebraska Nova just let me know there is very little water in the RO tanks so we will need wait until morning for them to fill up. Then equipment that needs RO, such as the autoclaves, will be operational again. Thanks, Jayne Stratton

FW: Microsoft migration links
by Silvana Martini 17 Nov '25

17 Nov '25

Good morning! Many of us will be migrating this week (fun!), if you haven't already... Joe was nice enough to send me some tips based on their experience with the migration process. See below for his advice. I think that the e-mail he refers to will be sent to us the day of the migration. So, the bottom line, read and follow the instructions of that e-mail to ensure a smooth migration. I believe IT will be in the building all week so they can help us with questions and troubleshooting.... Good luck to all of you (us) with the process! Silvana [University of Nebraska – Lincoln] Silvana Martini, PhD Professor, Department Head University of Nebraska-Lincoln Food Science & Technology Lincoln, NE 402-472-5267 Editor-in-Chief, Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://aocs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/15… > Fellow of the American Oil Chemists' Society Past President of the American Oil Chemists' Society (2022-2023)<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.aocs.org__;!!PvXuogZ4sRB2p-tU!Emh0v7… > Donate to FST!<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://nufoundation.org/fund/01043120__;!!PvXu… > From: Joseph Baumert <jbaumert2(a)unl.edu> Sent: Thursday, November 13, 2025 3:35 PM To: Silvana Martini <smartini2(a)unl.edu> Subject: Microsoft migration links Hi Silvana, The side discussion during the P&T session on the Microsoft migration stimulated a couple of thoughts/experiences that I think may be helpful as the Department migrates next week. Each individual that will be migrating next week should have received an email already with instructions for the day of and day after the migration. I highly recommend that the instructions are copied/printed or the email is sent to a private account. Once the migration starts, users will not be able to access their unl.edu Outlook account. One of the critical first steps for the day after the migration will be to log out of or unlink their previous Microsoft accounts (i.e the unl.edu accounts). The migration team provided a link in their instructions that is easily missed so I wanted to bring these links to everyone's attention. Hopefully following these steps upfront will make the setup the day after the transition a little more seamless.

A Photography Exhibit by Jerri Reher Haussler On Display through December 21 The Link, 2nd Floor Gallery The exhibition Butterflies, Birds, Blooms and Bugs — Can You Find the Bugs? offers a glimpse of hope found in the beauty of the natural world that God has created. Through her lens, photographer Jerri Reher Haussler captures moments where His presence is revealed — in the pollen resting on the soft petals of wildflowers along a spring roadside, the sunlight glimmering on a bee’s translucent wings in a summer garden, the gentle movement of a butterfly as it drifts from flower to flower in the fall and the seedpod spilling lacy fluff from a milkweed as winter approaches. A self-taught photographer with an eye for detail, Jerri finds joy in observing and documenting the world around her. She is also a published author of Entrepreneurs of Hastings: Short Sketches of Some Nebraska Risktakers and Simple Faith, Mighty Faith: A 40-Lesson Devotional and Memoir. Jerri earned her B.A. in Business Education from Nebraska Wesleyan University and an M.A. in Educational Psychology from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln. She retired from Hastings College in 2002 as the Associate Dean of Students. Her photography has been displayed at the Minden Opera House and the Hastings Museum. All photos are available for purchase and would make a beautiful addition to your office, waiting area or children’s medical clinic. For purchase inquiries, Jerri can be reached at (402) 984-0250 or jerrihaussler(a)gmail.com<mailto:jerrihaussler@gmail.com>.

Her research combines large-scale microbial genomics and computational approaches to investigate how microbiomes contribute to human health. Her dissertation focuses on the development of two functional genomic databases: one for glycan utilization in the human gut microbiome and another for anti-prokaryotic immune systems in phages. Through functional annotation and profiling of key genomic features, her work provides foundational resources for understanding microbiome-mediated glycan metabolism and phage-host immune interactions.

Organizers hope to collect 3,500 items to support students facing food insecurity. Since the start of the fall semester, the pantry has served 874 total households and 1,800 individuals. In total, 16,505 items have been distributed to students and their families. Canned goods — such as soups, beans, fruits and vegetables — are among the most-needed items, along with personal hygiene products like toothpaste, toothbrushes and deodorant. Cash donations are also accepted, though Madison said the pantry relies heavily on physical items. Participants can give in several ways, including donating at collection bins located across the university, contributing monetarily, or purchasing items directly from the pantry’s Amazon Wish List.

A Photography Exhibit by Jerri Reher Haussler On Display through December 21 The Link, 2nd Floor Gallery The exhibition Butterflies, Birds, Blooms and Bugs — Can You Find the Bugs? offers a glimpse of hope found in the beauty of the natural world that God has created. Through her lens, photographer Jerri Reher Haussler captures moments where His presence is revealed — in the pollen resting on the soft petals of wildflowers along a spring roadside, the sunlight glimmering on a bee’s translucent wings in a summer garden, the gentle movement of a butterfly as it drifts from flower to flower in the fall and the seedpod spilling lacy fluff from a milkweed as winter approaches. A self-taught photographer with an eye for detail, Jerri finds joy in observing and documenting the world around her. She is also a published author of Entrepreneurs of Hastings: Short Sketches of Some Nebraska Risktakers and Simple Faith, Mighty Faith: A 40-Lesson Devotional and Memoir. Jerri earned her B.A. in Business Education from Nebraska Wesleyan University and an M.A. in Educational Psychology from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln. She retired from Hastings College in 2002 as the Associate Dean of Students. Her photography has been displayed at the Minden Opera House and the Hastings Museum. All photos are available for purchase and would make a beautiful addition to your office, waiting area or children’s medical clinic. For purchase inquiries, Jerri can be reached at (402) 984-0250 or jerrihaussler(a)gmail.com<mailto:jerrihaussler@gmail.com>. This exhibit is free and open to the public daily from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. [https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://mcusercontent.com/aa74e0e500b559fc0e6fc… ]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/unl.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a…> Applications Are Open for the 2026 Nebraska Innovation Fellowship The Nebraska Innovation Fellowship is a 20-week initiative designed to empower the next generation of innovators, builders and problem-solvers in Nebraska.

Stop by Nebraska Nova’s office to pick up an orange Hefty Energy Bag<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/unl.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a…>. What To Do: 1. Fill the Hefty Energy orange bag with clean, dry, hard-to-recycle plastics like plastic packaging, grocery bags, wrappers and foam products. * Don’t include recyclable plastics—keep those loose in your curbside recycling bin. 2. When full, tie up the orange bag and place it with your curbside recycling along with your normal recyclables. Why Should I Do It? Hefty diverts hard to recycle plastics from the landfill. The orange bag keeps otherwise nonrecyclable plastics from contaminating the recyclables plastics.
