While it was built on a foundation of basic plant science, research at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln’s Center for Plant Science is anything but basic.
Faculty in the center are making discoveries in areas of metabolic biochemistry, stress biology, and genetics and epigenetics. While the science is groundbreaking, Edgar Cahoon, director of the center, believes the ability to bring findings to the field is what makes the work unique.
Cory Forbes, Jessica Shoemaker, Jay Storz, Yan Xia and Andrew Zimbroff are among a record-setting class of Nebraska faculty selected to serve as Fulbright Scholars in 2018-19. The awards include Nebraska's first Distinguished Fulbright Chair selection.
Nebraska's Allison Johnson and colleagues have reported the first experimental evidence of cross-species recognition among non-primates.
Nineteen University of Nebraska-Lincoln undergraduate students have earned Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarships. The awards will allow the students to study abroad during the summer 2018 term.
The Gilman is a nationally competitive scholarship awarded three times a year by the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. The summer term scholarships were awarded to approximately 2,100 students from 386 universities and colleges.
