UGA Research

In my role as a Graduate Assistant at UGA Research, I thrived as a content creator and videographer, driving diverse multimedia projects to amplify research communications. From crafting dynamic videos and photos to strategic social media branding and persuasive storytelling, I embraced a range of creative and technical tasks. I spearheaded a compelling long-form video on Iron Horse Switchgrass, blending informative interviews with captivating visuals to engage scholars and students alike.

My approach blends professionalism with creativity, aiming to make complex topics accessible and exciting. Each project is executed with precision and passion, exceeding expectations in quality and impact. Through this commitment to innovation, I contribute meaningfully to advancing research communication at the University of Georgia.

Q&A: Robinson wrestles with chemistry’s grand challenges

Gregory Robinson was studying chemistry and playing football as an undergraduate student at Jacksonville State University in the late 1970s when he met Jerry Atwood. A professor at the University of Alabama, Atwood was recruiting students to attend graduate school.

There was no master plan at the time, but it was a meeting that would change the trajectory of Robinson’s career forever.

“Each of us encounters a multitude of seemingly trivial events on a daily basis,” Robinson said…

Widespread ownership of modern smartphones could make for more accessible—and equitable—microscopy in many elementary and middle school classrooms. According to University of Georgia research, iPhone cameras can serve as adequate alternatives to traditional grade-school optical microscopes when paired with more cost-efficient magnification devices.

Historically, microscopes have been crucial in shaping early STEM education, offering students a window into the microbial world. Many K-12 classrooms, however, rely on legacy optical microscopes with limited availability.
