Thank you to Comm. Michael Naft for visiting our campus. I was honored for him to talk with our researchers about the carbon cycle, tour the STEM Co-Lab, and learn about @driscience.bsky.social work at the NV Nat'l Security Site by touring the archeology archive & the Comm. Env. Monitoring Program.

Yesterday, we had the pleasure of welcoming our new @NSHE Chancellor, Matt McNair, to our Reno campus. It was a terrific opportunity to showcase the impactful research led by our DRI researchers. Thank you, Chancellor McNair, for supporting #ScienceThatMattersNow.
NSHE Chancellor McNair and DRI President Acharya are engaged in a discussion with a researcher inside a modern greenhouse with an extensive glass structure and multiple plant growth chambers. A clear blue sky is visible through the transparent roof. NSHE Chancellor McNair and DRI President Acharya walk with colleagues in a hallway, engaged in conversation. NSHE Chancellor McNair, DRI President Acharya, and Nevada Robotics Director Long are in a discussion. Chancellor McNair holds documents about the Nevada Robotics program. NSHE Chancellor McNair engaging with researchers in a hallway surrounded by scientific posters and equipment can be seen through an open doorway.
