BIG CONGRATS to the @CornellAnSci recipients of the Maynard Graduate Award, Brianna Tate and Jorge Barrientos-Blanco, and the Danny Fox Graduate Fellowship, Andres Ortega! Recognition of your achievements in #animalscience is well deserved! #CornellNutritionConference
2021 chemistry laureate Benjamin List had an out-of-the-box question: do amino acids have to be part of an enzyme in order to catalyse a chemical reaction? Or could a single amino acid, or other similar simple molecules, do the same job?

Science relies on public trust for its funding and opportunities to interface with the world. Misinformation in and about science could easily undermine this trust. We cannot afford to let that happen
