It's been a chilly week in Michigan, but I can't overstate how much I enjoy working in an office that's a short walk to these spots. My old lab was functional but I can't say it was in a fun spot.
Congratulations to Jim Tiedje, a University Distinguished Professor Emeritus in @MSU_PSM, on being elected a Foreign Member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Tiedje is a world-renowned expert in microbial ecology and a leader in antimicrobial resistance research.

@MSUAFRE grad students are back and so is the @dairystoreMSU ice cream! Faculty, staff, and graduate students gathered outside of Ag Hall yesterday to welcome our new graduate cohort!
Was an honor to intro @michiganstateu President Samuel Stanley at breakfast w/ MI ag leaders. MSU is America’s pioneer land grant institution & keeping a strong partnership between the university and our ag sector is so important! Thanks to President Stanley for joining us.
In partnership with @CANRatMSU, @MSUAgBio, and @MSUExtension we were pleased to host key policy makers at MSU facilities across Michigan.
Each visit supported conversations on agriculture innovation, current research projects, the delivery of Extension services and more.
