@cmaltecca Thank you @cmaltecca for all the help!

[Mark Jian Cheng,PhD @MarkChe88500828]

Very happy to see my paper from Postdoc gets published. Thanks to my Postdoc advisor Dr.Jicai Jiang and all other contributors.

[Christian Maltecca @cmaltecca]

New paper out: great work from @MarkChe88500828 and Jicai Jiang.

Very happy to finish my first presentation in my first @wcgalp2022 in Rotterdam!!!

Curious what we as animal breeders can learn from plant breeders, and the other way around? Join the Bayer Crop Science lunch session today (12:00 in the Van Weelde Zaal) to learn more about bridging the disciplines of animal and plant breeding. 🐔🌱🧬

From disease resilience to swine behavior, seven graduate students from across the country presented their research at the National Swine Improvement Federation meeting. Here's what they are working on.
