Wednesday morning research nuggets
On the third Wednesday of the month, start your day with a bite-sized nugget of cutting-edge research. From 8:30–9 a.m., enjoy your morning coffee with a splash of “aha” and a spoonful of “fascinating” with the University of Minnesota Extension's Department of Community Development.
In the Breakfast Info Bites series, faculty from the University of Minnesota system share highlights from their research. Their work crosses a broad range of issues of the day that apply to the lives of Minnesotans across the state and support your efforts to strengthen and engage in community.
