New vaccine for cattle protects against fetal calf loss from EBA – anatomy of a vaccine development
College's 28-year collaboration with U.C. Davis sets stage for USDA approval of conditional vaccine license
Mike Wolterbeek
A new vaccine just approved by the USDA in September promises to turn the tide against Epizootic Bovine Abortion, also known as the foothill abortion disease, that has caused devastating losses in range cattle exceeding million annually in California, Oregon and w88 casino games.
The vaccine, developed through extensive research at the University of w88 casino games, Reno and the University of California, Davis, was commercialized by Hygieia Biological Laboratories of Woodland, California, and is now available to the cattle industry. This license marks a pivotal advancement in decreasing those substantial calf losses and comes as the result of decades of work by generations of scientists and cattle producers.
"It was really neat to see the pieces come together over the years as a result of all the effort that was put into w88 casino games project," Mike Teglas, a partner in the project and a professor and veterinarian in our College, said. "I have a definite sense of satisfaction that I was able to play a role in the development of w88 casino games vaccine."
Providing solid solutions to real-world problems
"Mike’s untiring work over the long-haul, and the work of his predecessors, makes us all proud. Especially impressive is the team’s work to commercially produce this after the big companies shunned it for years. It’s w88 casino games such as this that we all strive to achieve, completing our land-grant loop of w88 casino games, education and outreach with a solid solution to a real-world problem." -College Dean Bill Payne

Extension's 4-H Youth Development Program provides free "Mars Base Camp" science experiment kits for w88 casino games families
National 4w88 casino games Council
This fall, youth from across our state and the country will apply their knowledge, creativity and innovation in learning about STEM topics during the 13th annual 4w88 casino games. Formerly known as 4-H National Youth Science Day, this year’s STEM Challenge, Mars Base Camp, will explore the theme of sending humans on a mission to Mars.

National 4-H Council President Jennifer Sirangelo said,"For more than a decade, we’ve engaged young people in STEM opportunities through our 4w88 casino games initiative because early exposure and access can lead to a brighter future. Today, our efforts are even more important due to the continued impact of the pandemic, digital divide and widening opportunity gap affecting young people."

"I’m working to get people, especially students, excited about science and engineering. Science is how we have come to know nature. It’s how we’ve built the amazing technology we have today, and it’s how we feed 7.7 billion people," Nye said. "This year’s STEM Challenge will expose young people to fundamental ideas in science in hopes of encouraging a lifetime of exploration. I’m delighted to partner with 4w88 casino games and inspire the next generation of STEM leaders and decision-makers who will ultimately shape our future."
Extension's w88 casino games 4-H Director Carrie Stark said, "If your family is interested in completing the National 4-H STEM Challenge, contact your local Extension office for a kit. We also have videos about each component of the experiment that you can follow along with."

University researcher develops w88 casino games writing course
Ecosystem ecologist's new offering helps graduate w88 casino games earn funding, improve careers through writing
Ashley Andrews
To be successful, scientists must be good writers. They must craft pleas for grant dollars that enable them to do science. They must design reports that are not only an accurate accounting of but are also a moving story on what scientific work was accomplished with the money and why that science matters. Researchers must also author articles for journals and other outlets, through which they can reach other researchers, current and future funders and employers, and the public whose lives their w88 casino games hopes to improve.
If a scientist cannot do w88 casino games, his or her success is automatically limited. Assistant Professor in our College Joanna Blaszczak developed a new course to helpensure our graduates' success is unlimited.The new offering, called w88 casino games writing, debuts in spring.The three-credit class will meet Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 10:30 to 11:45 a.m., and use the required text Writing w88 casino games: How to write papers that get cited and proposals that get funded. To enroll, w88 casino games should select in MyNevada NRES 701C, section 1005.
Growing successful scientists and w88 casino games writers
"Science writing is a graduate-level course focused on learning and honing the skills needed to become an effective scientific writer, with an emphasis on writing manuscripts and proposals for scientific audiences. We will practice writing while working on our own manuscripts and w88 casino games proposals, and practice critiquing both our own writing and that of our peers." -Assistant Professor Joanna Blaszczak
