Good luck to and at their 26th annual Haskell-KU Student Research Symposium taking place this afternoon/evening! We have some K-INBRE representatives there, and we know they’ll do us proud! Go science! 👩‍⚕️🧬🗣 (link in bio)

K-INBRE would like to extend our sincerest congratulations to Juliane Simmons from . He presented his summer research at an 'Emerging Leaders' meeting over Spring Break in Atlanta and won first place for oral presentations in the Genetics category! As one of the oral presenters at our K-INBRE Symposium back in January, we knew Juliane had it in him. Juliane's name will appear in the Award Winners section of their website once they update it to reflect the 2026 winners. Way to go, Juliane! 🧑‍🔬 🧪 🤩

The K-INBRE Administrative Core and EAC had such a wonderful site visit to last week! Thank you to everyone there for being so welcoming, showing us around, and meeting with us. We hope to return soon! Rock Chalk, and go science! ❤️💙👩‍🏫👨‍🔬

You know what we love?! Collaboration in research!! Huge shoutout to two K-INBRE Steering Committee members: The University of Kansas's Shelley Hooks and Kansas State University's Hans Coetzee for forging collaborative research in Kansas. We're all on the same team when it comes to science! 🥰 🧑‍🔬 🥼 (Link to full article in bio)

Nothing like still enjoying the Symposium a month later...some sweet candids to remember how awesome of an event it was. Made possible by our awesome participants: students, faculty, and everyone in between! K-INBRE love 😍🧪✍️
