The Distinguished Scientist Award
The Distinguished Scientist Award — which is sponsored by the chancellor — recognizes researchers who have been among the most productive scientists at UNMC during the past five years.
Research focus:
Intellectual and developmental disabilities
The goal of my research is: To provide children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities the opportunity to reach their highest level of independence that is possible and that they desire.
My research will make a difference because: It will help society focus on the framework of caring for all citizens in a fair and equitable manner.
The best advice I’ve ever been given is:
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
Three things you may not know about me are:
- One of my hobbies is restoration work in our historic Omaha home.
- I am a Mason.
- I played football for the Cornhuskers in the ’70s.
