How do scientists study our changing brains? Why are we training the next generation of scientists to fight pathogens? How are robots and technology becoming agriculture's modern-day workhorses? 

Seek out these answers in the fall issue of Kansas State University's flagship research magazine, Seek. The magazine highlights university research, scholarly and creative activity, and discovery through a print publication as well as the website k-state.edu/seek.  

The fall issue includes four feature stories: 

• "Minding the mind" explains how scientists with the K-State Cognitive and Neurobiological Approaches to Plasticity Center, or CNAP, are studying our changing brains.

• "Priorities for preparation" describes how K-State and the Biosecurity Research Institute are training the next generation of scientists to fight animal and plant pathogens.

• "Automation in the field" shows how robots are becoming agriculture's modern-day workhorses.

• "Piece by piece, drop by drop" illustrates how a range of perspectives helps rural Kansas communities address water shortages. 

The magazine also demonstrates how the Insect Fusion multimedia project engages students in research, shares how engineers are helping families monitor children's sleep quality, and highlights undergraduate scholars, graduate scholars and university distinguished professors.
