It’s the time of year again! Today we’re in Berlin calibrating spreaders. By calibrating our spreaders, trucks will reduce salt application. Smart calibration = less salt, safer roads, cost efficiency, and a greener environment! #SustainableWinterMaintenance #Berlin #Calibration

Such a great feature from one of our talented graduate students! We’re so proud to see her journey and research highlighted through this wonderful collaboration. Check out the full story on the graduate school website!
This past summer, I had the privilege of being interviewed by Isabella Hurley, a talented Public Writing Fellow as part of the Graduate School Public Writing Fellows Program. Isabella asked thoughtful questions about my research and graduate school journey, and our conversation blossomed into an amazing feature piece—and a great friendship! Thank you to Heidi Bauer-Clapp for connecting us and your work for this program. I’m so impressed by the way Isabella captured and communicated my story for a broad audience. Her dedication to making research accessible and relatable truly shines through. The feature piece is now live on the graduate school website—check it out! 📖 https://lnkd.in/erUtR-g6
