Last week I had the honour of speaking on the panel “The Future of Work in an AI-Transformed World” at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln College of Engineering. The conversation was part of the public launch of the PRAIRIE-Initiative, a major step toward responsible, practical AI integration across education, research, and the workforce. During the discussion, I joined panelists Hilary Kasel from @Google , Robert Brauer from @Bayer Crop Science, William Greenwood from @MathWorks ,Josh Jones from @Nelnet and Santosh Kumar Pitla from @UNL_BSE Department.

An essential collaborator in helping NSRI close the gap in biological processes contributing to #nationalsecurity is the @unlincoln @NebEngineering Biological Process Development Facility (BPDF). In addition to a wide range of other biological development work, the facility develops, tests and documents processes that turn raw, one-time laboratory products into practical, large-scale, manufacturable defense-related products. Staffed by experts with decades of academic and commercial experience, and equipped with cutting-edge technology, the BPDF is perfectly situated to provide the missing link that transforms brilliant ideas into real-world solutions.
