Strategic Discussions for Nebraska, "Nebraska’s Advantage: Productive Agriculture and Bountiful Natural Resources"
Strategic Discussions for Nebraska is a publication produced with the assistance of students enrolled in ALEC 480, the capstone course for AESC students. Students interview UNL faculty researchers, then write stories for the publication based on those interviews.
The goal is to explain scientific research clearly and accurately so a general audience can understand and trust the information.
