This project was an absolute “grind”, but the data was worth it!

Sam Stickley successfully defended his thesis asking the cold chain question under Dr. Erin Beyer. He explored the impact of cold chain management on beef trim for ground beef quality. Sam also played a pivotal role in extension events, and youth meat judging for Kansas.

Congratulations, Sam! We are so proud of you!🎉

She may have investigated shaky calf syndrome, but there was nothing shaky about this defense!

Dr. Linnea Rimmer successfully defended her PhD on metabolic regulation in livestock skeletal muscle under Dr. Morgan Zumbaugh. Linnea started in the program as a master student in 2021 and since then her impact has been monumental. She has been instrumental in growing the meat science program while supporting graduate students. We are so proud of her and all she has accomplished! Congratulations, Dr. Rimmer!
