Great day along some great people as we represented @FLCattlemen at the Florida Capitol speaking with legislators and advocating for ranchers and agriculture. #BootsOnTheHill @uf_ansci @UFCALS

ITS OFFICIAL
I have successfully defended my masters thesis! To my committee: @ufpjhansen and Dr. Brooks; thank you so much for your guidance. @RalucaUF for being the best advisor ever! Being under her supervision has truly helped me grow during my time at UF. WE DID IT🥳

[Raluca Mateescu @RalucaUF]

Hard work paid out: all great presentations and a few prizes! @uf_ansci @UF_ANS_GRAD @UFCALSDean @UF

Trying to make it to #WCGALP2022. Got canceled yesterday with @Delta and trying again today. I’ve got everything except for the last boarding pass for the last leg from Frankfurt with only one hour to make the connection. @Delta give me a boarding pass!!

And nice to be back in OK for a few days!

Very proud of all 4 students presenting at #ASAS2022 Congrats @Aakilah_H @im_andreanicole @gzayasPR and @eddie5025 for a successful conference! Great seeing old friends and making new ones! @uf_ansci @UF_ANS_GRAD @UFCALS @UF @CritterChatter

[Raluca Mateescu @RalucaUF]

Big congrats for a successful MS defense yesterday! Great work @eddie5025 investigating the #genetic architecture of nutritional value in #BEEF. Thanks to both committee members @MeatScheff and Dr Penagaricano for all the support! @uf_ansci @UFCALS @UF

And thank you @PresidentFuchs, @UFCALSDean, @IFAS_VP and @DrJtotheMastro for attending the @uf_ansci Halloween Party! Thanks @FaciolaLab for organizing it!

[Raluca Mateescu @RalucaUF]

“Five! Five pups! How marvelous! How marvelous!” Great team work under the brilliant plot by @Aakilah_H! Thanks @im_andreanicole @gzayasPR @eddie5025 and Fahad! We were by far the crowd’s favorite! @uf_ansci @UF_ASGSA @UF

@RalucaUF played a perfect cruella today and shoutout to my lab for being the best pups to work with 🤩👻 #HappyHalloween

[Raluca Mateescu @RalucaUF]

Congrats Laura! Can’t wait to see what you do next!

[Peter James Hansen @ufpjhansen]

The newest MS from the @AMCB_UF & @uf_ansci - congrats Laura Jensen on your successful defense. Laura was the recipient of the 1st #GordonDoakFellowship from Natl Assn Anim Breeders. Her research focused on thermotolerance in dairy cattle. Next stop to the lab of @jenniepryce

[Raluca Mateescu @RalucaUF]

@Aakilah_H @gzayasPR Great to see the calls worked :-) Congrats on a job well done!

[Raluca Mateescu @RalucaUF]

And congrats to the two winners of the 3-min talk and poster presentations. Way to go @Aakilah_H and @gzayasPR! @UF_ASGSA @uf_ansci

[Raluca Mateescu @RalucaUF]

Wonderful time at the @uf_ansci Grad Symposium. Great presentations by our students in a wonderful setting! Lots of cool #science going on in @UFCALS. Thank you @UF_IFASResearch for the support! @UF @UF_ASGSA

[Raluca Mateescu @RalucaUF]

Great success for our group and very proud of all my students!

[Raluca Mateescu @RalucaUF]

Interested in #Cattle #genomics #bioinformatics? We are looking for a #PhD student to join our @uf_ansci lab. Project will use a multi-omics approach to interrogate gene transcription and regulation to characterize genetic pathways for superior #thermotolerance. @UF_IFAS @UFCALS

@harlyjaned @TroyNRowan Fantastic news! congrats!🎉🍾
