    • Leadership Team

    U-TuRN is guided by a team of faculty that each lead (or contribute to) one of the four interdisciplinary teams linked the U-TuRN. They each are also involved in one or more U-TuRN Projects and share a commitment to the overall goals and vision of the network. The team embraces principles of Team Science and can collectively be reached through our shared email account: uturn_teamscience@iastate.edu
