[00:00:00.220]Back here in Lincoln, Greg Sharpe joined
[00:00:01.860]by the Chancellor of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln,
[00:00:04.140]Ronnie Greene.
[00:00:05.600]This was a chat we were gonna do a couple weeks ago
[00:00:07.820]when this game was scheduled in January
[00:00:09.750]but the Huskers had little COVID issues shut down
[00:00:11.980]but we're grateful to be able to get this back
[00:00:14.680]scheduled this game again
[00:00:16.330]to continue this wonderful season.
[00:00:18.450]The Husker women have had three straight road games, though.
[00:00:20.550]It's been a long week for them, tough stretch
[00:00:22.370]for this team right now.
[00:00:24.140]Yeah, well, Greg, it's good to be watching our women
[00:00:27.500]always, the team's been really competitive this year.
[00:00:30.960]They've been fun to watch all year
[00:00:33.300]and to follow on these radio broadcasts.
[00:00:35.240]You know, on the road
[00:00:36.740]like they have been and they are today.
[00:00:39.980]Yeah, Husker fans will have three more chances
[00:00:42.110]just three more at home
[00:00:44.010]where the ladies have played really well,
[00:00:45.910]and one loss at home this year, 13 wins at home,
[00:00:50.220]yet in the season when we have Indiana, Minnesota
[00:00:52.860]and Northwestern rounding out our season at PBA.
[00:00:57.330]It's great to see the way several different players
[00:00:59.750]have stepped up all throughout season on this team
[00:01:02.730]how they play together as a team, it'll be fun to see
[00:01:06.210]if, you know they can put it all together
[00:01:08.070]as we approach the end of the season,
[00:01:09.740]head toward the tournaments,
[00:01:11.010]the Big 10 tournament's here coming up
[00:01:13.120]before we know it,
[00:01:14.670]in early March.
[00:01:16.830]Well, this team has been so much, as you said
[00:01:18.620]so much fun to watch and they've had so much success.
[00:01:21.080]And I hear you have some new is to share
[00:01:22.620]about some faculty and students
[00:01:24.600]who are celebrating some recent success.
[00:01:26.760]What can you tell us about this?
[00:01:28.280]Well, Greg, we're immensely proud of our UNL Community
[00:01:32.440]of our students and of our faculty,
[00:01:34.520]and some of our faculty just here
[00:01:36.960]recently have been awarded a huge recognition.
[00:01:41.170]One of the biggest recognition for academics in the world,
[00:01:46.990]where we have had two faculty recently named
[00:01:50.600]as Fellows of the American Association
[00:01:52.710]for the Advancement of Science.
[00:01:54.990]AAAS as it's referred to is the organization covering all
[00:02:00.340]of the sciences in the US.
[00:02:02.470]It's the most prominent scientific organization
[00:02:04.950]in the world.
[00:02:06.260]And only about 1% of the AAAS's membership
[00:02:11.960]are recognized as fellows
[00:02:14.060]as you really the highest levels of recognition in science.
[00:02:19.410]This year, as I said
[00:02:21.050]two of our faculty were named AAAS fellows
[00:02:24.670]in recognition of their work.
[00:02:26.520]Julia McQuillan, who is the Willa Cather Professor
[00:02:29.870]of Sociology in our department of Sociology
[00:02:32.260]in the College of Arts and Sciences.
[00:02:34.720]Former head of that department,
[00:02:36.650]she just went back to the faculty
[00:02:38.420]after serving as the head of the department
[00:02:40.920]for a number of years
[00:02:42.370]for her distinguished contribution
[00:02:44.220]to the study of social inequality,
[00:02:47.060]particularly around the area of infertility
[00:02:50.240]and the inability to have children.
[00:02:54.080]Public understanding of science,
[00:02:55.880]removing inequalities in stem field.
[00:02:58.180]She's been a leader in that as well
[00:03:01.470]in communicating science to a wide ranging public.
[00:03:04.350]And then additionally, Judy Walker, who is a mathematician,
[00:03:08.210]Aaron Douglas Professor of mathematics.
[00:03:11.310]Also a former head of that department.
[00:03:13.380]Currently is our associate vice chancellor
[00:03:15.760]for academic affairs of the university
[00:03:18.010]for all of our faculty,
[00:03:19.900]for her distinguished contributions
[00:03:21.740]to algebraic coding theory.
[00:03:23.820]Now that's a little beyond my level of expertise.
[00:03:29.460]Judy is one of the world's leaders in that area,
[00:03:32.300]and also for Judy, for her work in advancing educational
[00:03:37.040]and career opportunities,
[00:03:37.970]particularly for women, also in mathematics,
[00:03:41.620]she's recognized around the world in that arena.
[00:03:45.500]And then students equally, some of our students,
[00:03:48.330]we have just recently a couple of our Engler Agribusiness
[00:03:53.150]Entrepreneurship Program students,
[00:03:55.010]Cade Ludwig and Hunter Suchsland who are both seniors
[00:03:58.910]in CASNR in our College of Ag Sciences and Natural Resources
[00:04:02.570]who have won a $25,000 prize.
[00:04:07.930]Where they participated in and competed
[00:04:10.440]in the New Venture competition,
[00:04:13.578]where they won in that competition last year,
[00:04:17.090]this $25,000 prize
[00:04:19.000]from the Husker Venture Fund
[00:04:20.790]to develop their business,
[00:04:23.590]which is in the fishing lure world,
[00:04:26.942]where they are developing, producing fishing lures
[00:04:30.940]that are packaged and sent to fishermen all across Nebraska
[00:04:33.700]and 11 States in the US.
[00:04:35.570]So they kinda turned their love of fishing into a business
[00:04:38.710]and are having great success in it as well.
[00:04:41.540]So just tremendous, achievement on the part of Julia
[00:04:47.490]and Judy and of Cade and Hunter
[00:04:49.860]proud of the successes of our faculty and students.
[00:04:52.415]Fantastic, congratulations to all them,
[00:04:54.930]and thank you for sharing that with us
[00:04:56.430]enjoyed the second half of this game.
[00:04:57.890]You bet him, and go big Greg.
[00:04:59.220]It is Ronnie Green with us here at time.
[00:05:01.320]More of our halftime coming up next.
