Katherine Hyde, Ph.D., assistant professor, biochemistry and molecular biology, College of Medicine, will receive the Spirit of Community Service Award at the annual Faculty Senate Awards ceremony, at 4 p.m., April 24 in the Durham Research Center Auditorium.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Name:<\/b> R. Katherine Hyde, Ph.D.\n<li><b>Title:<\/b> Assistant professor, UNMC Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology\n<li><b>Joined UNMC:<\/b> September 2013\n<li><b>Hometown:<\/b> Waterville, Maine<\/ul>\n<p><b>How did you start in your community service activities?<\/b><br \/>\nWhen I first moved to Omaha, I didn&#8217;t know many people outside of UNMC. I saw a flier for the YMCA Reach and Rise program and thought it looked like a good opportunity to get involved in the community and meet other people. As much as like I like research, it&#8217;s nice to take a break from science occasionally. <\/p>\n<p>My involvement in science outreach was more deliberate. As a post-doc at the National Institutes of Health, I started participating in outreach activities with some of the other member of my lab. It was really fun and rewarding, so when I came to UNMC I specifically looked for similar volunteer opportunities. That&#8217;s how I got involved with the American Association of University TechSavvy workshop and the Expanding Your Horizons workshop. <\/p>\n<p><b>Why do you feel community service is important?<\/b><br \/>\nThroughout my education and career, I&#8217;ve had mentors who&#8217;ve gone above and beyond to help me. If I can do the same for others, it&#8217;s like paying back or thanking those who helped me along the way. Specifically regarding scientific outreach, since so much of research is supported by taxpayer money, I think we have a responsibility to share our knowledge and experience with the public, as well as train the next generation of scientists.<\/p>\n<p><b>List three things few people know about you.<\/b> <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I still consider myself a New Englander, even though I haven&#8217;t lived there since high school.\n<li>My sister and I are very close and talk on the phone nearly every day.\n<li>I&#8217;m teaching myself to play the ukulele. I&#8217;m not very good, but it&#8217;s a lot of fun!\n<\/ul>\n<!-- <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"\/secure-location.php\" title=\"sja  UVA PWRRiZ WXnC\">sja  UVA PWRRiZ WXnC<\/a> --><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UNMC Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology faculty member to be honored at April 24 event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":27,"featured_media":57548,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-61685","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","department-academic-affairs","department-biochemistry-and-molecular-biology","department-college-of-medicine","department-inbre","department-intercom","department-unmc-front-page","department-unmc-today-todays-headlines"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>R.
