Comings and goings
by Curtis Weller 04 Oct '24

04 Oct '24

Colleagues - I write to share about upcoming arrivals and a departure in the building. On the NIC Business Center front, Mindy Lang has been named as the NIC Business Center Manager. She is set to start on May 1. Mindy is coming from the AEM Business Center where she currently serves as a Finance Specialist. Also, the support person covering duties of departed Ben Rogers until his replacement is identified is Lisa Beethe. Lisa is part of the Nat Res Business Center and can be reached at lbeethe3(a)unl.edu. Welcome to both. On the faculty front, Catelyn Bridges has accepted the offer to assume the position of food manufacturing engineer at the rank of assistant professor in the BSE (45% Tea and 25% Res) and FST (30% Res) departments. Her anticipated start date is January 1, 2025. Catelyn holds a BS degree in BSEN from UNL and an MS degree in Bio and Ag Engineering from Texas A&M. She is ABD in her PhD journey at the University of California - Davis. She's a native of Omaha. Thoughts from Dr. Mark Stone (BSE Department Head) on the Catelyn's acceptance - "This hiring decision comes after an extensive and extended search process, dating back four years. As many of you are aware, our initial open search processes did not result in a hire after two rounds of interviews. This led us to pivot towards a targeted search approach, through which Ms. Bridges emerged as a candidate whose vision and expertise uniquely position her to contribute to our departments. I want to assure everyone that this decision was made with the utmost consideration for the long-term benefit of BSE, FST, IANR, and UNL. Throughout this process, we received outstanding support from our deans, the Vice Chancellor's office, ORED, and even the Chancellor's office, affirming the strategic importance of this appointment despite our difficult budget conditions". And finally, on the staff front with sadness, I share that Sharisa Heier, Administrative Coordinator in FST for the past five years has accepted an offer outside of UNL in Lincoln. Her last day with us will be May 2. She has been of tremendous assistance to me and others during her time in the FIC. Please join me on Tuesday, April 30 at a noon luncheon (location and other details TBA) to thank her for her patience and support, and to wish her well in her new adventure.

Biohazard bags and custodian safety
by Jayne Stratton 30 Aug '24

30 Aug '24

Good afternoon, This note is to make sure that all labs disposing of biohazardous waste are using red (or orange) biohazard bags with the biohazard symbol. Please do not use clear, transparent bags that have the biohazard symbol. Even though the clear bags have the biohazard symbol, it is not always visible and can be confusing to the custodial staff. New custodial staff are trained on which bags are safe to empty (normal trash) and they use the color of the bag (red = do not touch; blue/clear = empty) to make that determination. If you already have clear biohazard bags, please use them up but order the red colored ones the next time. I would recommend placing additional biohazard stickers on the outside of the bin in which these clear bags are placed to let custodians know not to pick them up. Labeling regular trashcans as "trash" will help too. One faculty was also asked to add red tape to an ethidium bromide waste container lid to further indicate that it was not general trash. Therefore, you may want to scan your labs to make sure anything that may look like trash to the custodians is properly labeled so it does not accidentally end up in regular trash. Thanks, Jayne Stratton [cid:image001.gif@01D6820B.A341D4E0] Jayne Stratton Rsch Professor University of Nebraska-Lincoln Food Processing Center<http://fpc.unl.edu/> 1901 N 21st St Lincoln, NE 68588-6206 mailto: jstratton1(a)unl.edu<mailto:jstratton1@unl.edu> tel: 4024722829

Are you missing 1.5 ml tubes from MidSci?
by Jennifer Auchtung 30 Aug '24

30 Aug '24

I had a package shipped to my lab of 1.5 ml tubes that I didn’t order. As one of the first in the alphabet when a company looks up our building, this happens occasionally. If these tubes happen to belong to you, let me know and I will send them your way. If it helps, the PO number is: 4800042311 and they were shipped on 8/23/24 Best wishes, Jennifer -- Jennifer Auchtung, PhD Assistant Professor Department of Food Science and Technology 1901 N 21st St, 270 FIC University of Nebraska-Lincoln Lincoln, NE 68588 517-488-4990

20 Aug '24

Hi all, We are planning to start using some personnel highlights in our website. This includes everybody that works at the FST! Graye will be contacting us to see who wants to be highlighted. I think this will add some dynamics to our website. I would appreciate if you cooperate, and would let us highlight you, your lab, your work group, etc… Perhaps we can start with the students that did internships during the Summer? Any volunteers??? 😊 Thanks!

Hi all, As I mentioned during the mini-retreat last Friday, the Department needs to work on the by-laws. Julie McManamey agreed to lead this effort.

The series features a diverse range of subject matter, from musicians to abstract portraits. This unique selection of oil paintings emerged alongside corresponding works on archival glass. The creative process is akin to monotype printmaking, focusing on the interplay between abstractions and illustrations of musicians. The emphasis lies more on the artistic technique—utilizing a brush, paint, glass, and physical pressure—than on the specific subjects themselves. The process was both innovative and enjoyable, exploring the potential of these materials and methods. Javier Rivera is an artist based in Lincoln specializing in figurative painting and drawing. He earned his BFA from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln in 2022. Javier has exhibited his work in various local and underground venues in Lincoln and his hometown of Omaha. He currently operates out of a studio in the Parrish Project building in downtown Lincoln.

Hi all, It is with deep sadness that I must announce the passing of Joe Danao (Grace's brother) on August 12, 2024. He passed away peacefully surrounded by his Mom and brother. The FST Department sent a peace lily to Grace earlier this week to provide comfort and sympathy during these difficult times. Attached are Joe's obituary, a picture of a memorial display in Joe's honor, and information about a mass service that will be offered on Aug 20th. Please join me in offering Grace support and comfort during these challenging times. Grace: our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

My name is Stuart Hoff, I am the manager of the IANR Federal Excess Property Program. We received an unused Beckman Coulter Boimek Sampler last year from The US Animal Research Center in Ames IA. The machine and a couple pallets of supplies were purchased in 2020 and never put into use. Picture of similar unit below, there are more parts to the one we have available. I received this unit in early 2023 through our FEPP under USDA. Agronomy was going to put it into service, but turns out they cannot now utilize it. Still has not been put into service. I have a table also for it to sit on, if need be. This unit is $400,000 new , plus looks like we received about $20,000 of supplies to go with it. Understand, this unit is free to utilize, when we are done with it someday, (even 20years from now) we return it to USDA-NIFA. IF any of your depts can utilize this machine, Please get a hold of me. Currently it is located at Agronomy, and needs to be moved. I sure would like to find it a home, and not have to return it to the Feds. Thank you for your time.

The series features a diverse range of subject matter, from musicians to abstract portraits. This unique selection of oil paintings emerged alongside corresponding works on archival glass. The creative process is akin to monotype printmaking, focusing on the interplay between abstractions and illustrations of musicians. The emphasis lies more on the artistic technique—utilizing a brush, paint, glass, and physical pressure—than on the specific subjects themselves. The process was both innovative and enjoyable, exploring the potential of these materials and methods. Javier Rivera is an artist based in Lincoln specializing in figurative painting and drawing. He earned his BFA from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln in 2022. Javier has exhibited his work in various local and underground venues in Lincoln and his hometown of Omaha. He currently operates out of a studio in the Parrish Project building in downtown Lincoln.

The series features a diverse range of subject matter, from musicians to abstract portraits. This unique selection of oil paintings emerged alongside corresponding works on archival glass. The creative process is akin to monotype printmaking, focusing on the interplay between abstractions and illustrations of musicians. The emphasis lies more on the artistic technique—utilizing a brush, paint, glass, and physical pressure—than on the specific subjects themselves. The process was both innovative and enjoyable, exploring the potential of these materials and methods. Javier Rivera is an artist based in Lincoln specializing in figurative painting and drawing. He earned his BFA from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln in 2022. Javier has exhibited his work in various local and underground venues in Lincoln and his hometown of Omaha. He currently operates out of a studio in the Parrish Project building in downtown Lincoln.
