The Faculty Research and Creative Activity Slam will be held from 4-6 p.m. at the Wick Alumni Center. Registration is required at go.unl.edu/research-slam.  

Ousley and the other four participants will each have five minutes to address the question, “What do your friends and family members find most interesting about the work you do?” Following the presentations, the audience will vote for their favorite Slam talk, and the person with the most votes will receive $1,000 to advance their research, scholarship, or creative activity. 

The other participants in the Slam include Mohammad Hasan, assistant professor in electrical and computer engineering; Gwendwr Meredith, assistant professor in School of Natural Resources; Ryan Tan, assistant professor in sports media and communication; and Ruth Woiwode, assistant professor in animal science. 

The Faculty Research and Creative Activity Slam is one of many events slated for Nebraska Research Days Nov. 6-10. View the complete schedule and find submission videos from each of the five Slam finalists at research.unl.edu/fallresearchdays/.
