Past outreach examples

  • Nebraska Today article on Biology outreach to Scouting
  • Public talk given at First Plymouth Church in Lincoln, NE as part of a Panel Discussion on Religion and Science.
  • Duckweed is a natural system for educational outreach because it is easy to use and accessible system for students from pre-school through college.  The Brassil Lab has conducted duckweed-based outreach with programs on ecosystems at the Lincoln Children's Museum and with inquiry-based workshops for teachers in the Lincoln Public School system and Nebraska-wide teachers.  Here are Tips on Growing Duckweed in the Classroom.
