The event also will include the awarding of the first Bartee Advocacy of Science Award, for exceptional community engagement by a scientist, Mark Rupp, MD, chief of the UNMC Division of Infectious Diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bartee Lectureship, created by the former vice chancellor for external relations and his family, invites a recognized expert to UNMC each year to provide a lecture and engage with UNMC faculty and students on topics related to making science relevant, creating ways for scientists to engage with the community and build science literacy and trust in scientific rigor and results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBob Bartee was an unparalleled communicator and a staunch advocate of science during his career at UNMC,\u201d said Chancellor Jeffrey P. Gold, MD. \u201cWe thank him for this new lectureship and award, which are a fitting capstone to his career while continuing his lifelong commitment to science, communication and education.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inaugural speaker Mary Woolley has led Research!America in its efforts to advocate for science, discovery and innovation to achieve better health for all. Under her leadership, Research!America has garnered attention and respect for its innovation in advocacy for research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are proud to welcome Mary Woolley as our inaugural speaker,\u201d Bartee said. \u201cShe is a strong and positive force for science, research, outreach and advocacy, particularly in the health sciences arena.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bartee Advocacy of Science Award is given to a UNMC scientist who exemplifies and lives out a commitment to community engagement. Dr. Rupp was chosen for the inaugural honor by a process led by Chris Kratochvil, MD, Bartee\u2019s successor as vice chancellor for external relations for UNMC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am very pleased and incredibly honored to receive the inaugural Bartee Family Award for promotion of science literacy and advocacy,\u201d Dr. Rupp said. \u201cI have long respected and admired Bob for his incredible contributions to UNMC over the course of his career \u2013 which makes this award even more meaningful to me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI believe the amplification of scientific misinformation and disinformation via social media is a pressing challenge and the promotion of scientific literacy may be one of our best strategies to preserve public health.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Rupp added: \u201cI am honored to share the stage with Mary Woolley, the president of Research America, and I look forward to her presentation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bartee praised Dr. Rupp for his outreach work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDuring the COVID-19 pandemic, many medical center professionals distinguished themselves in providing accurate and timely scientific information to the public,\u201d Bartee said. \u201cDr. Rupp stood out among an impressive group for his willingness to engage the media, elected officials and members of the public, at times almost daily, to provide a calm and reasoned voice among a cacophony of misinformation. I am pleased and honored that he is the first recipient of the Bartee Award.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
