Each year, the Office of the Vice President for Research’s (OVPR) Dare to Discover banner campaign highlights researchers and scholars from across the university. 

Research conducted by Harry Bui, an undergraduate student in the college’s Science Studies program, was selected to be featured in this year’s campaign. 

Bui, who is from Sioux City, Iowa, bridges scientific and social science research as he investigates ways to improve the experiences of patients and community members with diabetes and diabetes-related complications, using innovations that range from biosensors that detect infection to dialogue frameworks aimed at improving access to care.

The Dare to Discover banners will be displayed throughout downtown Iowa City through March of 2026.
