3rd Floor Walk-In Refrigerator
by Kristin Beede 25 Mar '25

25 Mar '25

All, I just finished up with our lab groups EHS inspection and they had questions of ownership for items in room S317 (walk-in refrigerator that is located on the 3rd floor next to the ice machine). Attached are pictures of the shelves in the walk-in where we need to determine ownership. Please contact me by April 4th if some of these items are yours so we can properly label them. Whatever is not spoken for by April 4th will be DISCARDED. Thanks, Kristin [cid:image001.gif@01DB9D97.E9A7EA80] Kristin Beede, MS Ramer-Tait Lab, Research Lab Manager II Food Science & Technology University of Nebraska-Lincoln 1901 N. 21st Street Rm207 Lincoln, NE 68588 kristin.beede(a)unl.edu 3084402320<tel:3084402320>

Importance: High Colleagues, Please share the information below with Professors and Research staff in your unit. We have an increase in projects- (50 science fair projects)- coming for our Regional Science Fair on Thursday here at our East Campus Union, and we are in need of more Professor/Research Staff judges. Last year's fair resulted in some new students to our departments/units and several mentor opportunities. There is some confusion that this is the same science fair as the STATE one on April 24th (they have plenty of judges so thank you to everyone for supporting that event). That Science Fair is also on East Campus. The Regional is the qualifying science fair for the state fair in April. Questions please let me know. Thanks, Tammy Colleagues, We hope your spring semester is off to a great start. We will be hosting the Southeast Regional Science Fair at the East Campus Union on March 27th from 8-12:30. We are looking for individuals who can attend the whole time and would like to judge middle school and high school science fair projects. If you are interested, please sign up at the link below. We would also like to encourage our colleagues outside of CASNR to participate so if you have a colleague in a different college who would be interested in judging, please share this information.

Greater Nebraska Science and Engineering Fair
by Andreia Bianchini Huebner 17 Mar '25

17 Mar '25

Hello Everyone I am reaching out to faculty, post docs, staff and graduate students that may want to volunteer to help with an outreach activity. Our department has been invited to help judge student's entry at the upcoming Greater Nebraska Science and Engineering Fair. This event will take place on Saturday, March 29, 2025 at the Nebraska City High School in Nebraska City from 9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. Judges will be asked to review and score a variety of student projects across multiple disciplines. Additionally, Dr. Martini has offered a scholarship to all the students that have an entry related to Food Science. We have been informed that there are a few entries listed as Food Science. So it would be essential to have someone from our department judging the fair to help assess those entries and their eligibility to the scholarship that we are offering. A short/simple rubric would be provided to help with the assessment. If you're available to lend your time and knowledge, we would be grateful for your participation. There will be complimentary breakfast and lunch for all judges participating. Mileage reimbursement would also be provided. Please let us know by March 21, 2025 if you could help, and feel free to reach out with any questions. Best regards, Andreia [cid:image001.png@01DB9775.91E344C0] Andreia Bianchini Associate Professor University of Nebraska-Lincoln Food Science & Technology 1901 N 21st St. 248 Food Innovation Center Lincoln, NE 68588
