Looking for undergrads to join us this summer at UNL for the 2026 Crop-to-Food Innovation REEU program. 10-week research intensive experience, $6500 stipend & dining plan, housing, travel included. Please RT. summerprogram.unl.edu/programs/crop-… @UNL_AgResearch @hbcu @UNLFoodScience

Big thanks to @VTTFinland and @helsinkiuni and industrial partners for hosting a great 1st retreat for NSF Global Centers FoodID project foodidglobalcenter.org this week in Helsinki. @UNLresearch @UNL_AgResearch @UNL_Biochem @UNL_PSI @NSF @UNLFoodScience

Great job-Kiyoul Park, Hyojin Kim, Amrit Sharma @AMRIT_SHARMA_99-presenting the wonders of plant oils for biofuels, aquaculture, ink & paint at today's UNL East Campus Discovery Days, representing @UNL_PSI. @CABBIbio @NESoybeanBoard @UNL_Biochem @UNL_AgResearch

Very proud of our Crop-to-Food Innovation students for great presentations at today's UNL Summer Undergraduate Research Symposium. Big thank you to their mentors. @UNL_Biochem @unlagrohort @UNLFoodScience @UNL_PSI @NFHC_NU @UNLresearch @UNL_AgResearch

Great to see our collaboration with @ecahoon2 and colleagues from UNL on the front cover of @PlantBiotechJ, highlighting our project making a new sustainable source of astaxanthin. Harnessing the power of plant metabolism to make useful compounds.

Visit by our Crop-to-Innovation Research & Extension Experiences for Undergrads today at the Eastern Nebraska Research, Education & Extension Center @NebENREEC. Learning where our food comes from. @UNL_AgResearch @UNL_PSI @NFHC_NU @UNL_Biochem @UNLFoodScience @unlagrohort

Important update on the exploitation of our omega-3 technology - really pleased to now be working with @NuseedGlobal to help deliver additional new sources of plant-derived EPA+DHA in camelina. nuseed.com/33321-2/

Great "Aloha" party today for Shirley Sato & Tom Clemente. Aloha may mean "good bye" but it also means "love" and "affection". We'll miss you Shirley & Tom! Mahalo! @TEClemente1 @unlagrohort @UNLresearch @UNL_AgResearch @CABBIbio

Join us for Shirley Sato & Tom Clemente Retirement Aloha on Mon, June 23 at 3 pm, Beadle Atrium. Wear a Hawaiian shirt! @UNLresearch @UNL_AgResearch @unlagrohort @NESoybeanBoard @NebraskaWheat @CABBIbio

Field 2025 started. We are done with planting for soybean and sorghum field trials today. Thank Pat and Derek. @UNL_PSI @unlagrohort @NESoybeanBoard @CABBI

In a "game changer" for plant bioengineering, CABBI researchers used a robotic lab to make genetically engineered plants - and to boost oil production in plant cells. The advance will accelerate work to develop better bioenergy crops. 🌱 News ➡️ cabbi.bio/cabbi-team-dep… (1/2)

In a great collaboration led by @ecahoon2 we engineered Camelina to make astaxanthin, which is used in aquafeed diets (to give a pink hue). We used genes from the Adonis plant - picture below gives a clue why! Helping to make aquaculure more sustainable. rothamsted.ac.uk/news/camelina-…

Enjoyed a small camelina & crop biotech conference with colleagues from Lund U, Swedish U of Ag Sciences & Rothamsted Red this week in Lund & Alnarp, Sweden. @JohnathanNapie1 @UNL_AgResearch @UNLresearch @Ro

In plant lipid community, we don’t say “hejdå/goodbye/再见”. We say“Vi ses/so long/再会”. Great to have @ecahoon2 @JohnathanNapie1 visit Skåne where oilseed plants are one of the icons inspiring generations of farmers, researchers and innovators.

It was a genuine pleasure and honour to visit Sweden and discuss exciting opportunities with colleagues from SLU and Lund. And great to catch up with old friends too! Events like this make me more sure our science can really help solve global challenges.

Big thank you to ISPL event planners Lisa Maupin & Stephanie Vendetti from UNL Office of Research and Innovation and my co-organizers Ruth Welti and Kent Chapman @RuthWelti @UNLresearch

Conference photo for 26th International Symposium on Plant Lipids (ISPL). Thank you all who made the trip from around the world to Lincoln. More photos of the conference will be shared soon with conference participants. @ASPB @UNL_IANR @UNLresearch @aocs
