Jennie Barker Road project moving along
County road projects are moving along.
Roger Calkins, Finney County Public Works director, gave an update on two road improvement projects at Monday s regular Finney County Commission meeting.
The two road projects are Jennie Barker Road and Farmland Road.
Calkins said the biggest update on Jennie Barker is that traffic has been set loose on the southbound lane. (The contractors) got a lot done, they ll be going in to finish up curb, guttering, entrances and whatnot before they do the main line on the other side, which would be the northbound lane, he said. Recent rains showed us areas where we had some erosion issues, so we went from the grass to the blankets, we installed blankets in those areas, mainly around some culvert ends and things like that.
Pioneer in RNA nanotechnology named Ohio State Innovator of the Year
Leaders offer vision for the future at Research and Innovation Showcase 614.292.7276
Peixuan Guo, the Sylvan Frank Endowed Chair in Pharmaceutics and Drug Delivery and the director of the College of Pharmacy Center for RNA Nanotechnology and Nanomedicine, is The Ohio State University 2021 Innovator of the Year.
Guo is a pioneer of RNA nanotechnology, developing RNA particles that target tumors. His work has led to several discoveries: the RNA rubbery property that leads to more efficient cancer targeting without toxicity, novel methods for lung and liver cancer therapies, and a simple and fast method for diagnosing COVID-19 earlier in infection.

He first proposed the concept that cells have many small RNA molecules with novel yet undiscovered functions, and named them “sRNA.” Guo is the founder and chairman of the board of directors of ExonanoRNA LLC. He has raised more than $4 million of funding for the company to develop RNA nanoparticles for cancer therapy.

Westmoreland, N.Y. As Jenni Barker pulled into her driveway about midnight Monday, her headlights swept through a front yard strewn with hundreds of rolled snowballs.
