UNC Research Stories, Issue 1
From the Nominator
Creating symbiosis between humans and artificial intelligence. Your child’s brain on plastics. Poems as gateways to other worlds. These projects and more are highlighted in the first annual print edition of UNC Research Stories. Produced entirely in-house by a team of three, UNC Research Stories magazine is distributed to 40,000 people across North Carolina and the nation to showcase the breadth and depth of research that takes place at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. We use long-form articles, photo series, and short documentary-style videos to highlight projects from students, faculty, and staff across our 15 schools and numerous centers and institutes.
