Told in a succinct manner such that anyone could understand and become engaged in the research, the three-minute presentations of over 20 students included multiple ties and close scores from the four CAHNRS judges. With the largest turnout of spectators in recent history, it is clear there is strong support for the future of research in CAHNRS, and for the students that make the CAHNRS family feel fulfilled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/03\/3mt-2025-1024x682.png\" alt=\"the CAHNRS 3MT winners are standing together with smiles on their faces.

Having us all both riveted and scratching our heads, even sometimes laughing, in such a short amount of time, it was a refreshing time of hope for the future of academia. This year&#8217;s enthusiasm exemplified passion for groundbreaking research, and was a testimony to its ability to blossom across several fields of study in CAHNRS. Thank you to those who judged, including our very own Britta Nitcy from Development, Jacob Moya from Communications, Leslie Edgar from the Office of Research, and Lindsay Hickman from IT. Lastly, thank you to all CAHNRS Faculty and Staff for helping support these students in making their academic dreams a reality.

districts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe want to build the weather network of the future and the next-generation Washington workforce,\u201d said project leader Lav Khot,&nbsp;<a

wetness. Shared online and through digital decision tools, this data helps growers know when to water, mitigate cold or heat stress, and manage pests and diseases.<\/p>\n\n                <\/div>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wsu-container  wsu-position--relative\" >\r\n    \n<div class=\"wsu-decorator  wsu-decorator--style-block-crimson-light wsu-zindex--level-7\" style=\"bottom:0;left:0;height:25%;width:27px\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wsu-decorator  wsu-decorator--style-block-crimson-light wsu-zindex--level-7\" style=\"bottom:0;left:0;height:27px;width:20%\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wsu-decorator  wsu-zindex--level-7 wsu-decorator--style-block-gray-wsu\" style=\"bottom:-50px;left:0;height:55px;width:165px\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wsu-decorator  wsu-zindex--level-7 wsu-decorator--style-lines-crimson\" style=\"bottom:60px;right:0;height:35px;width:500px\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wsu-overlap wsu-overlap-spotlight  wsu-overlap-spotlight--style-right-middle\">\r\n    <div class=\"wsu-overlap__container\">\r\n        <div class=\"wsu-overlap__column wsu-overlap--overlap-none\">\r\n            <div class=\"wsu-overlap__column-inner\">\r\n                <div class=\"wsu-overlap-spotlight__image  wsu-image--style-framed\">\r\n                    <div class=\"wsu-image-frame wsu-image--ratio-1-1\">\r\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/02\/Screenshot-2025-02-21-111236.png\"\r\n                        srcset=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/02\/Screenshot-2025-02-21-111236.png 495w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/02\/Screenshot-2025-02-21-111236-264x300.png 264w\"\r\n                        sizes=\"(max-width: 495px) 100vw, 495px\"\r\n                        alt=\"Nancy Deringer, Associate Dean of Student Success and Academic Programs, speaks into a microphone.\"\r\n                        style=\"object-position: 22% 46%\"\r\n                        \/>\r\n                    <\/div>\r\n                <\/div>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n        <div class=\"wsu-overlap__column wsu-overlap--surface-column wsu-overlap--overlap-none\">\r\n            <div class=\"wsu-overlap__column-inner\">\r\n                <div class=\"wsu-overlap-spotlight__caption  wsu-dropshadow--medium\">\r\n                    \n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading  wsu-heading--style-marked\">Fostering Hands-On Experiences<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re very excited to engage with teachers and students using AgWeatherNet technology, allowing them to explore air quality, drought, wildfire impacts, and other challenges,\u201d said Nancy Deringer, associate dean of Student Success and Academic Programs in WSU\u2019s College of Agricultural, Human, and Natural Resource Sciences. \u201cThis project gives students real-life hands-on experiences and puts them at the controls of a modern weather station.
