As the Antarctic expedition comes to an end, explore the final field journals from the team. From long days at sea to late nights in the lab, the team advanced Palmerolide A research in extreme conditions. 📓 bit.ly/a2mpjourney @Scripps_Ocean @USouthFlorida @martin3guerres

On National Science Appreciation Day, we’re celebrating the real-world impact of research that helps create a cleaner, healthier, and safer Nevada—and world. 🔬 This month, @driscience and @nasa announced a $1 million federal grant to study how wildfire smoke moves across Nevada.

DRI is a part of the experiment to monitor #wildfire in the #Reno desert, bringing together researchers from #DRI, #UNR, and #UNLV to apply cutting-edge technology to learn more about safeguarding our communities. Learn more bit.ly/wildfire21 @NSHE #NSHE

We are incredibly proud to see Ziming Ke recognized by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)! 👏 As a postdoctoral researcher in our #NSFfunded HDRFS project, Ziming is doing vital work to help us understand how extreme wildfires influence our atmosphere.
