True to his Kentucky roots, Jason Carter pours all he has back into bluegrass. For thirty years, Carter has been the fiddle player for the Del McCoury Band, the most awarded group in bluegrass history. He has won three Grammy awards and has taken home five International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) awards for Fiddle Player of the Year, including 2018’s Best Bluegrass Album with the Travelin’ McCourys. As a fiddler, Carter has been featured on albums by Steve Earle, Ricky Skaggs, Dierks Bentley, Charlie Daniels, Vince Gill, Asleep at the Wheel and many more. On Carter’s solo album, ‘Lowdown Hoedown’, listeners may recognize instrumental contributions from such legends as Jerry Douglas or Sam Bush alongside vocals from young trailblazers like Sarah Jarosz or Billy Strings, with Carter singing lead. The Shucks Brothers, based in Lincoln, Neb., will kick off the evening with some serious string tickling and great harmony vocals. They tip their hats to the great old bluegrass masters such as Bill Monroe and the Stanley Brothers, but they also feature country, swing and red-hot instrumentals. This group will surprise their audiences with dazzling improvisation, silly humor and a whole lot of fun.

Connect through the Entrepreneurial Mindset Dr. Samuel Nelson, Director of the Nebraska Center for Entrepreneurship, will guide participants through engaging discussions on innovation, problem-solving, and opportunity recognition. Unlike typical networking events, this breakfast facilitates structured small-group interactions where: * Young professionals gain insights into applying entrepreneurial thinking in careers * Business leaders discover fresh perspectives that can drive innovation within their companies * Both groups build relationships that strengthen Nebraska's professional ecosystem Every individual registration also contributes a donation for a student, making this a free event for Nebraska's future talent. Each table at the event will pair four business leaders with four high-achieving Nebraska students, providing a unique opportunity for meaningful interactions and the exchange of valuable insights. Why this Matters The entrepreneurial mindset extends far beyond starting businesses—it's about creating change, identifying opportunities, and solving problems in any environment. By fostering these connections, we're not just sharing ideas. We're developing the collaborative foundation needed to keep Nebraska's talent engaged and invested in our state's future.

It’s also part of Nebraska history. Kool Aid was invented by Edwin Perkins in 1927. At the time, Perkins was living in Hastings, Nebraska and running a small business called Perkins Products. One of his most popular products was a concentrated fruit syrup that came in tiny bottles. To make the syrup go further, Perkins developed a way to powder the concentrate, which he sold in packages that could be mixed with water to create a fruity drink. He initially called the powdered drink “Fruit Smack” but later renamed it “Kool Aid” after hearing his customers refer to it by that name. The first flavor of Kool Aid was cherry, but over the years Perkins introduced several other flavors, including grape, lemon-lime, orange, raspberry, and strawberry. In 1953, General Foods (which would later merge with Kraft) purchased Perkins Products and began mass-producing Kool Aid packets. Today there are more than 30 different flavors of Kool Aid available, including some limited edition flavors like tropical punch and watermelon.

Reminder: Please Respect Others' Food in the Refrigerator
by Susie Fauble 18 Aug '25

18 Aug '25

Hello all, I hope your Monday is going well. We have been informed that there have been a few instances where food placed in the refrigerators in the morning has been partially taken by lunchtime. This has understandably caused frustration for those affected. Just a friendly reminder: Please only take food that you brought or that has been clearly marked as shared. If you're unsure whether something is communal, it's best to leave it. Let's be mindful and respectful of each other's belongings so we can maintain a positive and considerate workplace environment. Thank you for your cooperation.

Based on the Academy Award-winning animated feature film, Disney’s Frozen includes all the film’s beloved songs by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, along with new music written exclusively for the stage. In the beautiful mountainous kingdom of Arendelle, Princesses Anna and Elsa grow up sheltered inside their castle, isolated from the world and increasingly distant from each other. When Elsa is crowned queen, the magical powers she’s desperately tried to conceal from her sister take control, and she flees into the mountains. As a ferocious winter descends on Arendelle, Anna sets off on an epic journey to find Elsa and bring her home - with the help of hardworking ice harvester Kristoff, his loyal reindeer Sven, and a happy-go-lucky snowman named Olaf. Full of magic, humor, and a stunning musical score, Frozen is a powerful tale of sisterhood, acceptance and finding the real meaning of true love.

TD-NMR from Bruker
by Silvana Martini 13 Aug '25

13 Aug '25

Hi all, I just wanted to send a quick e-mail to let you know that we have a new piece of equipment in the Department. A few weeks ago, we received a TD-NMR from Bruker and today it was calibrated and installed. This equipment can be used to: * Measure solid fat content (SFC) in shortenings * Measure droplet size in emulsions (o/w or w/o) * Measure oil content in seeds and other materials such as cocoa powder. I think we can also use it to measure moisture content. I hope you consider this new equipment for your grants and service projects. Purlen, Ilhami, Yidong, and I received some training today. I am sorry that I didn’t send an invitation to everybody for the training, but we didn’t know that we were going to get trained until the last minute… I am confident and happy to say that Purlen is the new “NMR queen” 😊. Thanks to Purlen, Ilhami, Yidong, Yue, and Susie for helping with the entire process. If you want to check the new NMR out or use this new piece of equipment, please let me know and we will make sure you receive training. We are more familiar with the SFC and droplet size measurement applications and not as much with the oil and water content, but I am sure we can figure that out. Thanks!

Based on the Academy Award-winning animated feature film, Disney’s Frozen includes all the film’s beloved songs by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, along with new music written exclusively for the stage. In the beautiful mountainous kingdom of Arendelle, Princesses Anna and Elsa grow up sheltered inside their castle, isolated from the world and increasingly distant from each other. When Elsa is crowned queen, the magical powers she’s desperately tried to conceal from her sister take control, and she flees into the mountains. As a ferocious winter descends on Arendelle, Anna sets off on an epic journey to find Elsa and bring her home - with the help of hardworking ice harvester Kristoff, his loyal reindeer Sven, and a happy-go-lucky snowman named Olaf. Full of magic, humor, and a stunning musical score, Frozen is a powerful tale of sisterhood, acceptance and finding the real meaning of true love.
