WOW it is very exciting to see some of my PhD work reach the mainstream media! I was definitely not expecting this on a Saturday but I am happy to interact and talk about our approach with anyone that’s interested in this topic! https://t.co/alB83xokJE #Cowturday #supportdairy

New climate-controlled animal respiration stalls – the only currently operating in the US – will allow CALS researchers to measure methane & other gas emissions from cows, informing investigations to improve the sustainability & productivity of farms. 🧵https://t.co/Qjn6zZ5BsT

So grateful that yesterday I got the chance to share the stage at the pre-conference symposium #SWNC2024 with my former #McFaddenLab labmates @EduardoRicoER and #DrVictorSainzdeLaMaza, and with #DrErminioTrevisi from @Unicatt 🙌🏽🐄🔥🧪 Thank you #Vetagro for the invitation!

It was great to meet with the @SyngentaGroup yesterday at @CornellCALS @CUGradCareers - thank you for sharing your career trajectories with us! My main takeaways for a successful career in industry were being comfortable with ambiguity, resilience and having great soft skills ✅

[Dr. Abbey Wick @NDsoilhealth]

@Cornell PhD students and post-docs brought their cuttings edge research and questions about non-academic career pathways to @SyngentaGroup #soilhealth today - what a conversation! @mwallenstein @reb_daly @jwadeexperience @JasonNeffCU @AgustinOlivo_

Congrats to the newly Dr. @AFOrtegaM 🎉🍾🎓🐄

[Ananda Fontoura @ask_Ananda]

Special thanks to the staff in these offices that kindly met with our group, @TheBTI for organizing this trip, @CornellCALS and my mentor @RuminateOnThis that allowed me to represent the #McFaddenLabCornell and talk about our experiences with the FFAR programs!

[Ananda Fontoura @ask_Ananda]

Full day of walking around in the Hill today! Got to meet with the offices of Sen @SenGillibrand Sen @chuckschumer and Rep @marcmolinaro and talked about how important it is to keep programs like @FoundationFAR and @FFARFellows funded in the 2023 Farm Bill 🌎🐄🌱

[Ananda Fontoura @ask_Ananda]

Kicked off a very special trip by checking out The Cornell Farm (1948) by Edward Hicks at @ngadc 🖼️ Super excited to meet with representatives of NY State and members of the ag committee to advocate for increased funds for @FoundationFAR in the 2023 Farm Bill 🌎🐄🌱

Some advice to young scientists from C.R. Henderson given in an address at Kyoto University, December 16, 1985 (from Van Vleck, J. Dairy Sci. 74:4082–4096). Still true today and still deserving of emphasis.

RIP Pere 🤍

[Nutrient Management Spear Program (NMSP) @CornellNMSP]

Our team is deeply sorry to share that our former PostDoc, Dr. Perejitei Bekewe (Pere), passed away last month. Our condolences to his family and friends for the loss of such a wonderful person.

Please keep Pere and his family in your thoughts and prayers.

Giving a talk today during a tornado alert 🚨 was fun… turns out I almost lost it when trying to talk about bile acids and the alarms were popping 😂😂😂

[Cornell Animal Science @CornellAnSci]

Greenhouse gas emissions, such as methane from cows, have been linked to global warming. @CornellAnSci publishes a new model to estimate/reduce emissions using easily available data and that outperforms existing predictors. https://t.co/wBekn5iXOo

[Ananda Fontoura @ask_Ananda]

Best group of people I could’ve ever wished for when it comes to learning how to navigate facilitating a meeting! Thank you @FFARFellows, #CommunityAtWorkSanFrancisco and all the amazing human beings I got to see (shoutout cohort 1) and meet new ones (cohorts 2, 3, 4) 🌾🌱🐄🐖🌎
