In this episode of the #Sagebrushers podcast, @Pres_Sandoval hosts Angie Lenard, Ph.D., and Satish Manandhar, Ph.D., two postdoctoral scholars contributing to impactful research on campus. Around 70 postdoctoral scholars work at the University, playing a valuable role in advancing research and teaching. Lenard and Manandhar help to lead the University’s Postdoctoral Association (@unrpostdocs), an organization that was formed in 2021 by volunteer postdocs to represent postdocs across campus. The organization offers professional development opportunities, social events and other community building for postdoctoral scholars. During the episode, Sandoval discusses with Lenard and Manandhar what a postdoc is, why someone would choose to pursue this path after receiving their doctorate and how UNR PA is working to connect with postdocs around campus. They also explore both scholars’ research – Lenard is monitoring chemicals on national wildlife refuges near California agriculture lands and Manandhar is running experiments on one of the largest shake tables in the country to determine how to build structures atop soil better.

Today is Indigenous Peoples' Day, celebrating and honoring the diverse Indigenous cultures on our campus and across the country. The Great Basin Indigenous Mural, created by @unevadareno alumna Autumn Harry and the Office of Indigenous Relations, provides representation for Native American students, staff, faculty, community members, and visitors and strives to foster a sense of belonging at the University of Nevada, Reno. Watch this video about how the mural came together, and what it means to the Indigenous community at the University.
