Excited to collaborate and share our UT AgResearch at the TSU College of Agriculture and UT Institute of Agriculture research summit. #Beef #Microbiome

TSU & UTIA held the 4th Joint Research Summit to further collaborations in research & innovation to address grand challenges facing our state and beyond. Fifteen faculty in ag, natural resources & environmental sciences from both institutions provided research program overviews.

Always great to come to work on your birthday and get this greeting! We have great grad students in our UT Animal Science department. #dinos

Great advice from Dr. Daniel Mathew speaking on the “Nitty Gritty” details of what graduate school entails. A fun time at the Herbert College of Agriculture and University of Kentucky Martin-Gatton CAFE Grad School Preview Night!

Our own Adella Lonas and Kennedy Hill discussing their experiences as part of the graduate student panel at the Herbert College of Agriculture and University of Kentucky Martin-Gatton CAFE Grad Student Preview Night!
