[00:00:02.193]Thank you.
[00:00:04.007]Again, my name is Neal Bryan, for those just joining us,
[00:00:06.639]I'm recording, I'm Neal Bryan, I'm the Associate Director
[00:00:09.205]of the Office of Graduate Studies,
[00:00:12.024]or Grad Student Development in Graduate Studies.
[00:00:14.992]I'm in the Associate Director of the Office
[00:00:16.913]of Postdoctoral Studies.
[00:00:18.910]Today I'm gonna be talking about resources
[00:00:21.601]that the Office of Graduate Studies provides
[00:00:24.191]to faculty members in the assistance
[00:00:28.282]of graduate student mentoring, postdoc mentoring,
[00:00:32.998]and then also some other affiliate resources
[00:00:37.702]that we either subscribe to or pay a membership for
[00:00:42.215]for all faculty, really all personnel at UNL and the Durham
[00:00:48.395]School, I believe, through the affiliated links
[00:00:54.111]and we'll get to those in just a minute.
[00:00:57.395]I have two handouts.
[00:00:59.061]I think, I'm not sure if the Scott campus has those
[00:01:02.228]available and Lily just walked out so, oh there she is.
[00:01:07.169]Do you have those handouts
[00:01:08.248]that Rick sent this morning, Lily?
[00:01:11.737]I do, sorry, I didn't have a chance to print them yet
[00:01:14.162]but I'll make sure that everyone here has them.
[00:01:16.519]That's fine, we are, I'm gonna be handing them out
[00:01:18.987]at the end so Scott campus people won't be too far behind.
[00:01:24.349]First I wanted to just talk about on this handout
[00:01:28.894]that I will distribute, there's a lot of research
[00:01:34.579]and literature about mentoring
[00:01:38.787]especially for those on the academic track.
[00:01:44.028]There's a national conversation that's growing in scope
[00:01:52.363]as well as vehemence about preparing graduate students
[00:02:00.987]and postdocs for the eventuality that they
[00:02:05.388]might not get into a faculty position.
[00:02:09.819]Of course, all of UNL's graduate students and postdocs
[00:02:13.420]are exceptional and they will all enter the tenure track
[00:02:16.988]or whatever they have the interest in doing.
[00:02:21.406]But there is that conversation out there and part of that,
[00:02:25.280]not every faculty member has the experience in industry
[00:02:30.879]or necessarily even in teaching,
[00:02:35.898]things that graduate students and postdocs
[00:02:38.508]need to be prepared for in their eventual careers,
[00:02:41.270]whatever that may be.
[00:02:43.657]So that's kind of the place where we're coming from.
[00:02:48.554]We encourage sort of an annual review
[00:02:53.255]and I didn't get a chance to talk with Lily before
[00:02:57.992]but let me ask, with graduate students,
[00:03:03.275]is there an annual review,
[00:03:04.908]a formal department-led for each graduate student?
[00:03:11.536]Don't know?
[00:03:12.903]In our department we do have
[00:03:14.630]that annual review, yeah. In some departments.
[00:03:18.107]Yeah. Okay.
[00:03:20.844]I don't think there is, there's not formally
[00:03:22.412]in most of our departments, I don't think there is.
[00:03:26.952]Okay, we encourage that if not at the department level,
[00:03:31.468]then for faculty members to be cognizant
[00:03:34.269]of that responsibility or that inherent compact
[00:03:39.585]between a mentor and a mentee.
[00:03:44.785]It helps to, at the very beginning,
[00:03:48.716]to establish good expectations.
[00:03:52.516]I was talking with Forrest earlier,
[00:03:54.465]and he just had a graduate student start this month,
[00:03:57.345]and Forrest has his graduate student,
[00:04:01.458]now that he has winter clothes,
[00:04:03.499]his first thing is to get into Literature and learn that.
[00:04:06.918]So that's something that, an expectation that Forrest has
[00:04:11.111]and then he'll get him more involved in the lab
[00:04:13.877]and learning techniques and things like that.
[00:04:15.935]So having a conversation with your mentees,
[00:04:19.305]whether they have a PhD or not yet
[00:04:23.651]is a great starting point and we have a lot of resources
[00:04:27.956]available for having that conversation.
[00:04:36.303]Again, on the handout, I'll refer you to,
[00:04:40.268]we have a graduate mentoring handbook online
[00:04:43.162]and it's written to a dual audience,
[00:04:46.245]same website, sometimes it's a split screen
[00:04:49.070]because something is written for graduate students
[00:04:52.585]and sometimes it's written for audience specific,
[00:04:57.036]oh thank you, if you go to, yep, I think that
[00:05:01.997]if you scroll down a little bit more, that third link
[00:05:04.123]in the advising, the mentoring handbook, yep.
[00:05:07.727]So if you click on that, you'll be able to see many many
[00:05:12.999]pages, we won't have time to flip through all of those.
[00:05:17.124]But it's written for the dual audience.
[00:05:18.941]Because it's that two-way street, mentors need to know what
[00:05:22.930]mentees are supposed to be doing, and mentees need to know
[00:05:25.250]what their mentors are supposed to be doing.
[00:05:27.360]And having those conversations, as you go through
[00:05:30.777]you can see there's a how to use this guidebook.
[00:05:35.285]And then it gets into the bulk of it
[00:05:37.648]so a big part of that is getting started,
[00:05:42.296]the biggest section is getting started,
[00:05:45.434]that's a great place to start,
[00:05:46.889]having that conversation early, setting the expectations,
[00:05:49.996]both learning your student's or mentee's expectations
[00:05:55.971]for that relationship as well as informing them explicitly
[00:06:00.429]about your expectations for them and for their development,
[00:06:05.894]what you want to see them become,
[00:06:08.580]what you want them to do for you, okay?
[00:06:11.359]Both sides of that.
[00:06:15.273]Let's see.
[00:06:17.250]We also have a specific, if you want to go
[00:06:19.429]to the postdoc website, Lily.
[00:06:22.962]The postdoc have a complete section on their website
[00:06:26.318]as well for mentoring resources.
[00:06:29.422]I have.
[00:06:32.490]I forget where that one is.
[00:06:33.925](laughs)
[00:06:35.376]Postdoc.unl.edu Thank you, okay.
[00:06:42.554]I will distribute this one to the Lincoln folks.
[00:06:47.782]There are several links.
[00:06:54.136]It's being slow. This is postdoc, postdoc.
[00:07:04.325]There it goes. There you go.
[00:07:06.198]Under PI and faculty mentoring.
[00:07:11.825]Just on that home page, if you just click that link
[00:07:14.944]right there, that'll take you to the page for,
[00:07:19.605]and then there's a mentoring section.
[00:07:21.420]What I've just handed out is the text part
[00:07:23.987]of that first link, a postdoc mentor compact,
[00:07:26.957]it was developed in 2006, I believe,
[00:07:30.483]by the American Association for Medical Colleges
[00:07:36.855]because many many many postdocs,
[00:07:39.252]a large majority of the postdocs are bio-medical.
[00:07:43.156]And so the AAMC took the initiative and developed this
[00:07:49.684]and as you just flip through it,
[00:07:52.890]we won't spend a lot of time with that,
[00:07:55.735]but it begins with commitments of postdoctoral appointees
[00:07:59.855]and then commitments of mentors.
[00:08:02.513]Having this as a central part of when a new postdoc,
[00:08:06.657]I mean you can adapt this for a graduate student as well,
[00:08:09.295]when they come into the lab, say these are my expectations,
[00:08:12.658]you can add your own, add your own bullet points.
[00:08:15.625]Is there anything that we want to talk about?
[00:08:19.953]With postdocs, since they are employees,
[00:08:23.548]they do have that annual review
[00:08:27.895]and you can use the compact as a starting point.
[00:08:32.753]We also encourage you to develop that into an individual
[00:08:35.546]development plan or encourage your postdocs
[00:08:39.388]and graduate students to develop something like that.
[00:08:42.170]I have another handout for Lincoln folks.
[00:08:47.009]And this is what, Lily, this is what Rick sent this morning.
[00:08:52.780]And it's also available if you go back one level,
[00:08:56.806]go back from that PDF, you'll be able
[00:08:59.247]to click into that as well.
[00:09:02.576]This is just a sample, very simple sample IDP,
[00:09:08.410]individual development plan.
[00:09:11.740]And this particularly one is for the graduate students
[00:09:16.731]but I think it's infinitely adaptable
[00:09:24.045]for the postdoc as well.
[00:09:26.796]In fact, there is a postdoc version on the postdoc website.
[00:09:33.911]If you want to go back one level there, Lily,
[00:09:37.645]back from that PDF, show those links again.
[00:09:40.492]So it becomes with a postdoc mentor compact
[00:09:44.003]and there's an individual development plan
[00:09:45.835]slash annual performance review
[00:09:47.947]and you can use those in concert.
[00:09:50.772]Basic idea behind an IDP is that the postdoc is there
[00:09:56.841]for a career-building reason, not just
[00:09:58.783]to generate data for the mentor, right?
[00:10:02.789]And so if you put that focus on the career professional
[00:10:07.472]development of the postdoc and or the graduate student,
[00:10:18.067]they are more invested in the process,
[00:10:21.147]they feel as if they're getting value, if you can provide
[00:10:27.088]the encouragement as well as helping them find resources
[00:10:31.692]that they need to meet their own goals, you'll find you have
[00:10:35.443]a much more motivated student or postdoc,
[00:10:40.145]I'm just gonna go with mentee from now on, okay,
[00:10:43.576]since we both, many times a postdoc is just
[00:10:46.605]a graduate student with a degree,
[00:10:49.364]so I'll just say mentor, mentee.
[00:10:55.181]We also, as you, I was talking before with the faculty here,
[00:11:01.634]looking for money, looking for grants.
[00:11:04.632]NSF, the federal agencies nowadays require a mentoring plan
[00:11:12.120]for their proteges that are on a federal grants.
[00:11:20.280]So to help you out there, we have some,
[00:11:23.168]on the postdoc website, on the proposals and funding,
[00:11:26.814]third link, suggested proposal language.
[00:11:30.821]How to put that in, that's boiler plate and you'll want to,
[00:11:34.741]you can speak with the specific postdocs
[00:11:36.709]that you're going to be bringing in onto that grant
[00:11:39.362]and develop a more specific plan that you can expand.
[00:11:45.420]But there's also support from
[00:11:48.772]the National Postdoc Association, it's the only nonprofit,
[00:11:55.569]yep, there's that link, there's mentoring resources there,
[00:11:59.442]some of them are behind a pay wall
[00:12:02.424]but the Office of Postdoctoral Studies
[00:12:04.481]has paid for an affiliate membership for all UNL personnel.
[00:12:09.518]So if you go to that link, whenever you run into a pay wall,
[00:12:13.624]simply register, you have a free affiliate membership.
[00:12:17.955]And you can have all the resources that the NPA provides.
[00:12:21.773]They've been around for about 12 years and their main
[00:12:23.832]mission is advocacy for postdoc affairs and issues.
[00:12:36.615]So those are our main mentoring-specific resources
[00:12:41.858]on the website, I can also introduce you to some things.
[00:12:49.576]Well let's first, I wanna introduce
[00:12:51.064]the concept of multiple mentors.
[00:12:56.138]So again, a lot of the literature points to the importance
[00:13:01.098]of having more than just the dissertation advisor,
[00:13:04.448]more than just the boss, the postdoc's boss,
[00:13:08.437]to really provide an effective professional network
[00:13:14.364]for graduate students or postdocs.
[00:13:19.919]We want to help you out with that and we provide,
[00:13:26.052]go.unl.edu/graddev is a place where it's again
[00:13:31.513]specifically for graduate student career
[00:13:33.900]and professional development.
[00:13:37.622]It kind of wraps up the whole package,
[00:13:40.496]it's a standalone website but it is
[00:13:42.252]part of the grad studies website.
[00:13:45.905]Covers website, there's all the website resources,
[00:13:49.344]split it into career pathways, career development,
[00:13:51.051]professional development and then there's services
[00:13:53.830]on the vertical column of buttons there.
[00:14:00.309]We have workshops at least once a month,
[00:14:03.662]at least during the academic year.
[00:14:05.458]Individual consultations for career planning,
[00:14:08.466]perspective careers, and then there's
[00:14:11.399]that bottom button, a versatile PhD.
[00:14:15.147]As I mentioned before, not a lot of faculty,
[00:14:17.451]I think more so in engineering, but not a lot of faculty
[00:14:21.299]have that industry experience or the outside of academe.
[00:14:26.606]The versatile PhD is a community, a premium community,
[00:14:29.647]you have to pay for it, luckily, we have paid for it.
[00:14:32.562]Again, for all UNL personnel, you just can create,
[00:14:38.054]go in through that, I provided a link on the handout
[00:14:41.077]as well, go through this gateway
[00:14:43.868]and it provides you a year free access.
[00:14:48.712]There are forms there, there are sample resumes,
[00:14:52.537]sample cover letters, a whole professional network
[00:14:57.439]of people who are working with a PhD outside of academe.
[00:15:01.806]And there are some people who have been in academe,
[00:15:05.249]it's not just people who never
[00:15:07.401]wanted to do the academic track.
[00:15:10.508]So I think this is very useful.
[00:15:13.811]And finally, George just left,
[00:15:17.573]I was hoping he'd be in here for this.
[00:15:19.472]But we also recently joined the Center for the Integration
[00:15:24.375]of Research, Teaching, and Learning.
[00:15:26.862]And I'm the institutional leader for that network.
[00:15:32.658]The website is very nascent, we joined earlier this spring
[00:15:40.393]and that URL is go.unl.edu/cirtl.
[00:15:46.785]Again, that will be on the handout here.
[00:15:51.371]But thank you also for putting that in, Lily.
[00:15:55.190]The idea behind the Center for Integration
[00:15:56.867]of Research, Teaching, and Learning, or CIRTL,
[00:16:00.107]it enhances excellence of undergrad education by building up
[00:16:04.463]future faculty, graduate students and postdocs
[00:16:08.010]as well as young faculty, so come on in.
[00:16:12.952]The idea is a concerted effort towards developing
[00:16:22.265]teaching techniques and knowledge and skill
[00:16:25.646]and having it evidence-based, so taking the things
[00:16:29.540]that go well and incorporating them, getting data,
[00:16:33.771]getting feedback on those practices that you incorporate
[00:16:37.515]and making that deliberate approach
[00:16:40.718]to your teaching development.
[00:16:42.165]And instilling that into your TAs
[00:16:45.152]or your postdocs who have a chance to teach.
[00:16:49.436]Many postdocs and even PhD students
[00:16:51.365]don't have the opportunity to teach.
[00:16:54.199]Sending them over to graduate studies,
[00:16:58.348]even if they don't have that opportunity to formally teach,
[00:17:01.723]through CIRTL, they can often learn about the principles
[00:17:06.368]of teaching and even get involved in teaching-related
[00:17:10.820]projects that we're just getting started,
[00:17:16.512]but you can learn more about the center
[00:17:19.609]and how we fit into that.
[00:17:22.250]One of the most exciting things about CIRTL
[00:17:24.833]is that we are one of 43 institutions across the nation
[00:17:30.593]that are part of this and we are contributing
[00:17:34.125]our workshops and our web resources to this network
[00:17:38.208]and those other 42 institutions are doing the same.
[00:17:43.275]There are literally hundreds of workshops,
[00:17:46.474]teaching and professional and career development related
[00:17:52.020]that graduate students, postdocs, and faculty can attend.
[00:17:56.162]If Cornell is offering this workshop on x topic,
[00:18:01.739]go and attend it.
[00:18:03.196]You can come to visit our workshops on campus.
[00:18:09.417]We can get links to the Scott campus,
[00:18:12.010]if that's interesting up there.
[00:18:16.334]If University of Colorado has offered an exchange program,
[00:18:22.391]students or postdocs who have the chance
[00:18:25.015]or have been involved, not necessarily teaching formally,
[00:18:28.232]but have been involved in a teaching-related project,
[00:18:30.743]to go out and visit and see a different institution
[00:18:35.454]and that's a great resource as well.
[00:18:38.624]Each of those institutions have or will have
[00:18:43.419]exchange programs available as well.
[00:18:46.188]So that's a very rich resource, hundreds of workshops
[00:18:50.135]every year, you can see, this is another one
[00:18:53.934]where free membership if you are associated with UNL.
[00:18:59.729]I'll have to check about the Scott campus,
[00:19:02.076]if you're a UNL faculty, but I think we can swing it.
[00:19:06.994]So if you can get in.
[00:19:09.624]We are UNL faculty, so it should be okay.
[00:19:13.356]Sure, sure, sure, sure, sure.
[00:19:14.819]We're just sitting somewhere else.
[00:19:16.185]Okay, okay, okay.
[00:19:20.191]Alright, so everyone with the UNL edu address
[00:19:23.943]will easily be able to get in and have full access.
[00:19:29.047]I guess I misspoke.
[00:19:32.045]If your students are enrolled through UNL,
[00:19:35.567]they may not have the preferred registration
[00:19:42.287]for those things, but we can also,
[00:19:45.265]I'm the CIRTL institution leader,
[00:19:47.124]I can contact them and let them know of our situation there.
[00:19:52.091]But regardless of affiliation,
[00:19:55.187]you can still register for a free CIRTL.
[00:19:59.259]If it's just an email address, I know we can,
[00:20:01.243]they can get huskers.unl.edu email addresses,
[00:20:05.332]our Scott campus students, is that all
[00:20:07.029]that's necessary is a unl.edu email address?
[00:20:10.101]Yep, you just need an affiliation with UNL.
[00:20:13.981]Okay. So that's good to know.
[00:20:21.492]Alright, at this point, are there any questions
[00:20:23.170]from Omaha or Lincoln?
[00:20:29.928]Okay, I'll distribute this handout so that you'll
[00:20:32.247]at least with, I sent a Dropbox link to this document.
[00:20:40.817]Yeah thank you, I'll make printouts
[00:20:42.004]and make sure to distribute them to the Scott campus.
[00:20:50.087]Again, this is everything that I've talked about today,
[00:20:53.107]if there's anything else that you are interested in,
[00:20:57.343]I am going to answer questions, a lot more detail
[00:21:03.411]and information are available at those URLs.
[00:21:13.413]I really appreciate it, you know,
[00:21:15.005]because I do feel like, that's the thing,
[00:21:16.336]we have a lot of resources available
[00:21:18.199]but not all faculty know about them.
[00:21:22.522]Yeah, were there any surprises today?
[00:21:25.124]Did anybody go, "Oh, I hadn't heard of that"?
[00:21:28.162]Yeah I really appreciate it,
[00:21:29.208]I didn't know many of those even though I've been here
[00:21:31.580]for a long time, I really, it's really helpful, yeah.
[00:21:35.676]I don't know any of those existed.
[00:21:41.100]I have a new grad student starting today,
[00:21:43.414]I'm gonna send them right there.
[00:21:45.652]Excellent!
[00:21:46.552](laughs)
[00:21:48.900]I have visited some of those web pages
[00:21:50.470]and I do think some of it is customizable,
[00:21:52.859]isn't that right, Neal, so you can kind of add
[00:21:55.802]your own take on it, but at least it's a template
[00:22:00.480]or a base plate to start off of.
[00:22:02.698]Yes, I mean in particular, this individual
[00:22:04.890]development plan, it is filled with sample text,
[00:22:07.942]but this is the sort of thing, oh, one other resource
[00:22:11.708]that is free, we don't provide access to it,
[00:22:14.773]we don't have to pay for it, it's free, Triple AS,
[00:22:19.134]I think you're familiar with that, publishers of science,
[00:22:23.751]you probably all publish there already.
[00:22:26.201]Yeah, Forrest has been, four or five times.
[00:22:29.622]Triple AS has a myIDP,
[00:22:36.572]if you search for myIDP, it will come right up,
[00:22:38.882]I can't remember the extension, no problem.
[00:22:42.742]MyIDP is a free resource, it's a little bit,
[00:22:47.251]it gives a survey for the student or postdoc.
[00:22:54.782]You don't have to sign in there, but that's what
[00:22:56.468]you're looking at, that's what you're looking for.
[00:23:00.695]It gives a survey of skills and values
[00:23:07.229]and a third topic, so it's a very general,
[00:23:13.588]that's not coming to mind right now.
[00:23:16.716]And it helps the student identify,
[00:23:19.765]well, professional, for professionalism,
[00:23:22.004]or soft skills, you might say.
[00:23:25.584]So it helps the student realize, "I feel really strong
[00:23:29.622]"in my statistical background, not so much
[00:23:31.862]"in my meeting leadership, I didn't realize
[00:23:34.031]"that that was a part of my professional development."
[00:23:37.183]But that will help as a future faculty member.
[00:23:42.450]So there are, I would say nearly 100 topics
[00:23:47.208]on things that, it's broken down by individual
[00:23:54.181]and the students can identify for themselves
[00:23:59.510]what they, in their assessment, what they need to work on.
[00:24:04.761]There are additional tools that allow them to print off
[00:24:09.955]a mentoring or a skill assessment report
[00:24:14.154]and they can bring that or forward it
[00:24:16.476]to their faculty mentor or mentors,
[00:24:20.775]they can, if they'd rather not tell their mentor
[00:24:25.614]that they're thinking of a non-academic career,
[00:24:28.468]then they can hide their career goals
[00:24:32.199]and they can just focus on research, their research skills.
[00:24:38.306]So it's very customizable from the aspect of the student.
[00:24:41.245]Some departments that I've heard at different institutions
[00:24:44.487]use the MyIDP as the basis for the graduate student
[00:24:51.424]annual review, so what have you worked on,
[00:24:54.031]what are your goals for the coming year,
[00:24:57.542]how are you feeling about your career prospects,
[00:25:00.025]what are you interested in,
[00:25:01.554]and using that as a conversation starter.
[00:25:07.005]A few of the other things, the graduate students
[00:25:09.238]can enter their goals every month,
[00:25:12.440]myIDP will send them an email, you had this goal
[00:25:16.617]to be completed by this date, how's it going?
[00:25:19.425]And speak with your mentor about this.
[00:25:22.208]So it helps them stay on track.
[00:25:25.013]So this is really cool, there's one,
[00:25:28.083]you don't care about that, this one is for STEM
[00:25:31.205]and there's another one for humanities
[00:25:32.575]that's being developed as well.
[00:25:34.588]So this is another great one and a free resource.
[00:25:38.854]Thanks for reminding me of that.
[00:25:41.506]Are there any other questions?
[00:25:48.844]Yes.
[00:25:50.839]Can you push the microphone for us, thank you.
[00:25:53.407]Oh yeah, thank you.
[00:25:57.382]So if I want my postdocs to apply
[00:26:00.823]for some fellowships, is there any place
[00:26:03.325]where I can look for those resources?
[00:26:07.291]Yeah, excellent question,
[00:26:09.660]and that came through loud and clear?
[00:26:11.939]I'm trusting the control room, okay.
[00:26:15.470]Where can we look for postdoc fellowships?
[00:26:20.203]Or grad students.
[00:26:22.729]For grad students as well? Or grad students, yeah.
[00:26:26.427]Yeah, okay, grad students is a little bit easier.
[00:26:30.553]On our website, we have, oh,
[00:26:35.205]couple hundred different offerings.
[00:26:39.756]Of course we have our own UNL graduate student fellowships
[00:26:46.013]and then we'll come back to postdocs
[00:26:47.423]for your original question.
[00:26:51.501]Graduate student fellowships, there you go, very good Lily.
[00:26:56.392]That's available through the Office
[00:26:57.627]of Graduate Studies website.
[00:27:01.702]If you will, there's also a link that the, thank you,
[00:27:07.124]there's also a link for external fellowships on that webpage
[00:27:15.667]that's maintained by the Office of Research
[00:27:18.517]and Economic Development and there
[00:27:20.897]there are thousands of resources.
[00:27:24.734]And you can filter those and that might be
[00:27:29.056]a good starting point for postdocs as well.
[00:27:32.884]Just as an external, they're not all
[00:27:34.701]graduate student specific on the external list.
[00:27:42.275]Are you talking about the REFP one?
[00:27:45.386]I'm sorry. Are you talking about,
[00:27:46.521]so the all-red that Warren sends every week.
[00:27:49.439]Yeah, we get that but I was just wondering
[00:27:51.725]that if there is something more specific
[00:27:53.966]because that comes every week and it's more general, so.
[00:27:57.669]Oh okay If we can sort them,
[00:27:59.208]that these are for the postdocs.
[00:28:01.129]Oh okay, yeah.
[00:28:02.550]Are you able to filter that?
[00:28:08.924]I didn't try that, I'm just asking.
[00:28:10.698]Try filtering it, you can get down to postdoc-specific.
[00:28:15.557]Otherwise, the National Postdoc Association,
[00:28:19.380]they have additional resources for national fellowships.
[00:28:23.070]And otherwise, I would say, joining listservs,
[00:28:30.288]searching for those, and building a professional network
[00:28:34.714]of associations, other faculty members
[00:28:39.042]at different institutions and just getting
[00:28:41.523]your ears out there, listening for things.
[00:28:47.488]Does that help?
[00:28:50.824]Very much, thank you so much, Neal.
[00:28:53.972]We usually try to end these at about 9:30
[00:28:57.493]so we're getting really close,
[00:28:59.131]I just wanna make a quick announcement
[00:29:00.709]that we have some social lunches planned this week
[00:29:04.407]so at least those of you who are still remaining,
[00:29:06.176]don't forget, we've got a lunch at Leadbelly in Lincoln
[00:29:09.212]on Thursday, the dean is planning to join us for that,
[00:29:12.130]as far as I know, and then we are
[00:29:13.613]planning one for this Friday.
[00:29:15.263]I haven't decided what restaurant we should go to
[00:29:17.142]here in Scott campus, but I'll email that out to everybody.
[00:29:21.504]I didn't know that there's a lunch this week.
[00:29:23.329]Yeah, yes, it's this Friday.
[00:29:25.546]And this is not showing up on our screen in Omaha
[00:29:28.836]but hopefully it shows up on yours
[00:29:29.994]that the Office of Research and Economic Development,
[00:29:32.455]they started their own research essentials discussion
[00:29:36.806]and they put that on Friday afternoons
[00:29:39.001]which we hope that most of you can join
[00:29:41.459]but they're having their next one, it's monthly,
[00:29:43.438]they're doing that monthly and they have it this Friday
[00:29:46.034]as well so I just wanted to remind you, it's at 3:00,
[00:29:48.706]sorry it's not showing up on there.
[00:29:51.333]Is that, that one's not beamed in to Scott campus?
[00:29:53.700]It is, so they didn't beam the first one
[00:29:56.149]but they have now started beaming them,
[00:29:59.010]so they are being connected between Scott and city campus.
[00:30:05.281]So, 9:30, I think we'll stick to our schedule.
[00:30:08.888]Thank you so much though, Neal,
[00:30:10.137]there's only a few of us left but yay!
