A few weeks ago, @VT_ACT held their version of a 3-minute thesis competition. We were challenged with explaining our research to the general population in 90 seconds. This was a very cool event to be a part of!

If you're looking for something to do Wednesday evening, stop by to hear 30 graduate students explain their research in 90 seconds! I'll be talking about keeping cows in the dark 🐄🐮🕶️

[Kayla Alward, PhD @kalward_]

Can't thank this organization and all the people involved enough for investing in college students. The time, effort and money they put into helping us become better advocates is simply amazing. THANK YOU #CAO18

[Animal Ag Alliance @animalag]

We are so proud of this year's #CAO18 students! Every year we host this scholarship competition and every year is better than the last!

[Kayla Alward, PhD @kalward_]

@AggiesOnline Get outside your comfort zone! It will make you a stronger advocate and help you to reach a broader audience!

[Allyson Jones-Brimmer @a_jay_bee]

Thank you, #CAO18 sponsors! @animalag is excited to be giving away $25,000 in scholarships and prizes thanks to your generous support!

@AggiesOnline The general population is very removed from agriculture. Lack of knowledge breeds fear and misunderstanding. In order to feed the growing population, it's important for us to educate consumers on how their food is grown, so that together as a world we can work to be sustainable!

[Kayla Alward, PhD @kalward_]

@AggiesOnline Challenging, empowering and a fantastic learning experience! I feel more confident than ever as an advocate for agriculture.

@AggiesOnline I'm Kayla Alward from @universityofga competing as a grad student! My research is in repro phys in dairy cows 🐄🐄

[Kayla Alward, PhD @kalward_]

A laying hen can convert just 4 lbs. of feed into a dozen eggs, and she can produce up to 280 eggs per year! Pretty neat! #CAO18

[Kayla Alward, PhD @kalward_]

If I can share ONE thing with you about agriculture. I want you to know just how much farmers care about their animals. Check out this short video to see why. #CAO18

Eggs are delicious AND nutritious! They're one of the lowest calorie options and one of the highest protein options too! Check out @AmEggBoard for more nutrition facts! #CAO18
