"What's New?" Archive It is a sad fact that there is a limited amount of room on our homepage for news, so we classify the contents of this page as information that is "just too good to throw away." Here you will find important information about research projects, publications, appointments, awards and recognitions, and other items of interest that have been posted on the SRS website in the past. The most recent additions are at the top of the page. On November 30, 2011, Dr. Mike Brown served as an expert presenter for the American Society of Animal Science in a meeting with the Environmental Protection Agency discussing the impacts of feed management on manure composition of beef and dairy cattle, with particular focus on distiller's dried grains. This meeting is the second in a series of science based programs being offered to EPA personnel. The first program dealt with the evolution of the animal agriculture industry and the challenges of meeting global food security. Additional programs are expected in the future. Dr. Nabarun Ghosh, professor of biology, was quoted extensively in an Amarillo Globe-News article on asthma.

And Beyond the "What's New" Archive Here are a few items that were around before the "What's New?" column. We believe them worthy of archiving. An article posted June 7, 2006, features Neal Latman discussing WT's biomedical instrumentation and technology program. Here's an article from February, 2005 on work done by Neal Latman and his students. |
