The Envisioning Research contest is still open! NC State is calling on graduate students, undergraduate students, postdocs, faculty, and staff to help highlight the beauty and importance of the work being done both on campus and around the world. More details: envisioning.research.ncsu.edu

Faculty/Staff Photography, 2nd Place. Anne Collins McLaughlin. Over two weeks of field exercises, researchers from the Human Factors Psychology program, in collaboration with faculty from the United States Military Academy, studied how military trainees adopt and use a quadrupedal robotic teammate. Working in the forests, fields, and structures of the West Point training grounds, the team captured trainees’ attitudes toward the robot before and after hands-on experience with its capabilities and limitations. The project offered a rare look at how trust in robotic systems develops under realistic operational pressures. In this photo, Research Assistant Heidi Segars controls the robot at the direction of a Cadet Platoon Leader, while trainees conduct a reconnaissance mission amid simulated gunfire and smoke grenades.

Graduate Student/Postdoc Photography, 1st Place. Jenna Kraemer. Coastal communities are experiencing more frequent tidal flooding as sea levels rise, with floodwaters entering streets and stormwater systems during high tides. This research examines bacterial contamination in floodwaters from tidal floods in Carolina Beach, North Carolina. Over six sampling events, researchers tested floodwater from a residential drive and adjacent waterway for fecal indicator bacteria, human and dog fecal DNA markers, and antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Every sample contained antibiotic-resistant bacteria, an urgent global health concern.

Faculty/Staff Microscopy, 1st Place. Blake Kennedy. “Universal Porcelain” is one of a series of images created as part of an on-going project titled, “Material Landscapes: Ceramics at the Intersection of Art, Science, and Education.” This project is a collaboration between Dr. Jacob Jones, faculty member in Material Science and Engineering, and Blake Kennedy, Clay Studio Manager at the NCSU Crafts Center. The research involves capturing microscopic images of ceramic samples using a scanning electron microscope with the goals of understanding the physical structure of the material, the resulting chemistry present in the material after glaze firing, and generating images for editing into landscape compositions. The resulting images are both scientific information and visual art.

Graduate Student/Postdoc Microscopy, Honorable Mention. Sreekiran Raveendran Pillai. Scanning electron microscopy image of a single red blood cell (RBC) on an anti-thrombotic SLIC surface. The anti-thrombotic SLIC coating developed at Kota research group facilitates minimum adhesion to blood components. On a substrate with our SLIC coating, a spot was found wherein a single RBC was attached. From a surface chemistry perspective, these SLIC surfaces are hydrophilic and can easily slide off blood droplets from the surface. Such surfaces with minimum blood component adhesion can be translated efficiently to biomedical devices wherein device failure due to thrombosis is a major issue.

While William Butler Yeats won the Nobel Prize, his sisters Elizabeth and Lily were the ones who physically printed and published his most famous early works on the Dun Emer Press and later the Cuala Press. They provided the platform for the Irish Literary Revival."

Graphic. Image of people working on the Cuala press. Text: "Female-Led Innovation. Did you know?
The Cuala Press was managed and staffed entirely by women. They weren't just assistants; they were the founders, editors, and printers."

Page in a book. Text "Hand-Crafted Quality. Did you know? Every single Cuala Press book was printed on a hand press using paper made from Irish linen. These aren’t just books. They are pieces of fine art and craftsmanship."

Page in a book with illustration. Text: "A Political Statement. Did you know? Choosing to print texts of the Irish Revival in Ireland during the 1920s was a political act. The Yeats sisters used their press to assert Irish cultural identity during a time of intense political change."
