Growing up in Plano, Texas, Dr. Barnes spent time turning over creek rocks to catch bugs, sparking a curiosity about the natural world that still shapes his work today. Although he once thought he would become a doctor, that same curiosity led him down a path of research and discovery.

In our next episode of the Deep Roots Podcast, hear how a childhood fascination grew into a career in research and how the drive to ask questions continues to fuel discovery at Davis College.

Texas Tech University’s Davis College of Agricultural Sciences & Natural Resources has received a $28.9 million USDA grant to establish a Food Science, Safety and Workforce Development Complex within its planned new flagship building.

With support from the USDA, the State of Texas and the On & On Campaign, the Davis College Flagship Building will keep Texas Tech at the forefront of agricultural research, education and workforce preparation well into the future.

“Agriculture has been central to Texas Tech’s mission since the university was founded, and it remains essential to our future. We are grateful to USDA for recognizing the significance of the work done by Davis College and the role Texas Tech can play in advancing food security and agricultural innovation.”
