University Libraries Promotion and Tenure Recognition

I selected Dune because it reminds us that water is humanity's most basic need - vital to health, well-being, and survival. It demonstrates ingenuity for coping with severe water scarcity. My research aims to understand how people without access to clean water meet their water needs, and the health implications of variation in coping strategies. Thus, Dune exemplifies this research aptly. The Dune series also served as a nice pre-bed reading distraction during my pre-tenure period.
