Record-high cattle prices in 2025 have created unique opportunities and challenges for producers looking to maximize their profits. One key factor in cattle marketing is the price slide — when lighter-weight calves tend to command a higher price per pound than heavier calves. Understanding how a price slide works, and how to leverage it, can make a big difference in profitability.This concept is covered in a new article by TaraLee Hudson, a Graduate Research Assistant in the Department of Agricultural Economics here at Nebraska, and Dr. Elliott Dennis, an Associate Professor in the department, to break down what the price slide means, how it's shaping cattle markets in 2024, and how producers can use it to make informed marketing decisions.Read more: https://cap.unl.edu/news/leveraging-price-slide-marketing-opportunity-amid-record-high-prices/

In this episode, we talk to Becky Gudka, a Graduate Research Assistant based at the University of Exeter, about a study she's published here in the BJGP titled, ‘Primary care provision for young people with ADHD: A multi-perspective qualitative study'. We're also joined by her study co-author, Dr Anna Price, a Senior Research Fellow also at the University of Exeter who is the study principle investigator and senior author who led this research. Title of paper: Primary care provision for young people with ADHD: A multi-perspective qualitative studyAvailable at: https://doi.org/10.3399/BJGP.2023.0626Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a highly prevalent neurodevelopmental disorder, with negative consequences for individuals and their communities. Research indicates a current “failure of healthcare” for people with ADHD in England, but previous recommendations to improve support for ADHD in primary care lack feasible and practical recommendations for health professionals. This study highlights individual-, practice- and system-level barriers to accessing support for ADHD via primary care and provides suggestions for how to overcome these barriers from the perspectives of multiple stakeholders. Health professionals and people with lived experience provided data which points to the standardisation of ADHD provision, providing additional information and support for clinicians, and better utilisation of reasonable adjustments for patients with ADHD in general practice.

Este proyecto busca explorar una alternativa que pocas personas han considerado en la Florida y es usar malas hierbas, muy invasivas en los pastos donde hay ganado en la Florida, especialmente cría, en la que somos muy fuertes a nivel nacional. Básicamente estas malezas invaden fácilmente los pastos y ocupan espacio para los forrajes que deberían estar consumiendo las vacas. Estas malas hierbas guardan en su interior una gran cantidad de moléculas que pueden ser una alternativa para mitigar los GEI. Ha habido algunas investigaciones de botánicos y agrónomos que han descubierto que en las hojas, frutos y semillas de estas malas hierbas hay algunos químicos que han demostrado ser capaces de mitigar o reducir la cantidad de metano que una vaca produce en el rumen. Mi idea es básicamente obtener muestras de esas malezas que incluso tenemos aquí en los potreros de la estación experimental, para tratar de extraer esas sustancias que a veces se llaman sustancias antinutricionales porque muchas de ellas pueden ser tóxicas y de hecho no aportan. nutrientes para el animal que los consume. Luego de aislarlos, evalué cómo interactúan estos extractos en el ambiente ruminal de las vacas a través de pruebas in vitro. Con esto, de manera exploratoria, puedo evaluar si estos extractos de esas malezas pueden o no reducir el metano que normalmente produce una vaca.  Orador:   Wilmer Cuervo   University of Florida, Graduate Research Assistant  Wilmer nació en Bogotá (Colombia) en 1984.

Today's guest is environmental psychologist, Veronica Champine, PhD Candidate and Graduate Research Assistant at Colorado State University. We're breaking down the science of "social diffusion" in her research paper "Understanding individual and diffusion behaviors related to native plant gardening" recently published in the Journal of Environmental Psychology. Her research explores the difference between asking people to take individual action vs asking people to talk to people around them and showing by example - that's social diffusion - an often missing link in many climate programs and startups. We'll be diving into the power and nuance of helping people to get better at diffusing environmental behaviors in their communities - and what we need to do to become designers of social diffusion.

The U.S. economy in the upper Midwest and great plains is driven heavily by agriculture, with the seven-state region made up of Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota and South Dakota, being responsible for producing over 30 percent of the nation's agricultural output. Nebraska continues to be a leader in the sector, with significant impact and high output, while occupying a substantial amount of cropland and pastureland in the region. A new analysis on our website, cap.unl.edu, breaks down Nebraska's position as an economic force in agriculture in both the region and the country. Tatum Brunkow is a Graduate Research Assistant in the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's Department of Agricultural Economics. Hi, Tatum.

While the “mothman” has become a fixture of paranormal horror since it was adapted to film in 2002, the stories it was based on were actually far stranger than anything portrayed on screen. The wide range of events that occurred in Point Pleasant, West Virginia in 1966 and 1967 remain some of the most perplexing anomalous events in history, and they implore us to consider how they all might be related.

Tune in to learn more about the effects of earthquakes on buildings and how we can reduce them. Timestamps [00:44] Earthquakes and how they affect structures [01:42] Why Sugandha focused on studying electrical equipment response Nuclear Power Plants [04:39] Sugandha's findings and results after studying [04:49] How structures behave when subjected to earthquakes [09:36] Other areas apart from Nuclear Power Plants where this research is applicable [15:43] Sugandha's recommendations after conducting the research Quotes ● If an earthquake exceeds the designed earthquake for a nuclear power plant, the electrical equipment will automatically shut it down and maintain a safe operation. ● When we analyze a building cabinet and equipment system for an earthquake, we ignore the effect of an impact within the cabinet which happens when it moves under the earthquake with the building. ● Many people don't focus on what they should do to keep a building safe. ● The supreme objective of the nuclear power plant industry is not to let it fail. They have to keep an eye on every little part of the plant. ● We need to model our buildings and non-structure components such as cabinets more carefully to understand their actual behaviour.

Supriya Lal is a recent graduate of GPH with Master of Public Health concentrating in Public Health Nutrition, who also received her undergraduate degree in the Global Public Health program at NYU. On campus, Supriya worked as a Graduate Research Assistant and as a Project Coordinator for the SAHARA Initiative. The SAHARA or South Asian Health and Research Initiative was created at GPH in 2019 by professor Dr. Niyati Parekh to foster collaboration and research on the health needs of migrant South Asians, an underserved community in the U.S. with many health disparities. The initiative has collectively published many articles and conference abstracts and continues to explore grant opportunities that expand and advance South Asian health research at GPH. As a Project Coordinator, Supriya had a front-row seat to many of the projects and studies being done through the group as well as its inner workings and operation. In this episode, Supriya tells me more about the group- its inception and mission and shares more on some of the fascinating studies that have been taking place, including one she's working on with current GPH Ph.D. candidate Bridget Murphy on Food Frequency Questionaries and the South Asian community.

There's no question that computers don't understand sarcasm—or didn't, until some researchers at the University of Central Florida starting them on a path to learning it.Software engineers have been working on various flavors of sentiment analysis for quite some time. Back in 2005, I wrote an article in Spectrum about call centers automatically scanning conversations for anger—either by the caller or the service operator—one of the early use-cases behind messages like “This call may be monitored for quality assurance purposes.” Since then, software has been getting better and batter at detecting joy, fear, sadness, and confidence, and now, finally, sarcasm.My guest today, Ramya Akula, is a Ph.D. student and a Graduate Research Assistant at the University of Central Florida's Complex Adaptive Systems Laboratory.

A Touch Of Life: Real life story of the author during the darkest times of WWII in the Philippines 2nd Edition by Frank A. De La Rosa Born in Panganiban, Catanduanes, Philippines, in one of the more than 7,000 islands of the Philippines just four years before the outbreak of WW II in 1941. My schooling was delayed because of the war. I started school in 1946 at the age of 9. I finished both my elementary & secondary education in my hometown of Panganiban. I graduated with honors in the elementary, and as a Valedictorian in High School, in 1958. Using my diploma as a passport to college, and by being a Valedictorian, I was granted full scholarship at the Araneta University in Rizal, Philippines. After five years on a regular program. I graduated with a degree in BS in Agricultural Engineering with flying colors, in 1963. My academic pursuit didn’t stop here. After my college graduation, I applied to the Graduate School at the University of California at the College of Agricultural Engineering, where I was offered a job as a Graduate Research Assistant, in 1965. While in San Francisco, I attended the Heald Institute of Technology, where I was conferred another degree in Mechanical Engineering, in 1967. Then I found a job in the Northeastern seaboard of the United States. I got married and I had a family of my own. My colorful life then went on. I have four children, two boys & two girls. Wow! As of today, I have eight grandchildren, five girls & three boys. Now, I have time to write my books. Currently, I have written five books. I’m having them republished to bring the price down. I wanted them to be affordable to all my readers and friends, all over the world. Have a copy or copies of my book as a keepsake from me. Thank you all very much. Happy reading to ONE & All! https://www.amazon.com/Touch-Life-author-darkest-Philippines/dp/1734964529/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2O2W9PJELXNWY&dchild=1&keywords=a+touch+of+life+frank+a+de+la+rosa&qid=1602105167&sprefix=a+touch+of+life+f%2Caps%2C366&sr=8-1 https://www.frankadelarosa.com/ http://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/shunduaypub2.mp3

Why Grocery Stores Don't Help Communities in Food Deserts to Stay Healthy (0:38)Guest: Kelseanna Hollis-Hansen, PhD Candidate at the University at Buffalo and Graduate Research Assistant at the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical SciencesIn places sometimes referred to as “food deserts” healthy food options are farther and more expensive than normal. The obvious answer would be to just put up another supermarket. But researchers at the University at Buffalo found that new grocery stores actually lead to a decrease in people eating their fruits and veggies. (Originally aired November 5, 2019).  Historically Black Colleges and Universities are Struggling to Survive (14:21)Guest: Delece Smith-Barrow is Senior Editor for Higher Education at The Hechinger ReportMartin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, Thurgood Marshall, Alice Walker, Toni Morrison, Spike Lee, Oprah Winfrey, Samuel L. Jackson, Chadwick Boseman –aka Black Panther. That's just a partial list of prominent African Americans who graduated from an HBCU, which stands for Historically Black Colleges and Universities. There are more than a hundred HBCUs around the country –Howard, Tuskegee, Spelman, Shaw, Fisk, Morehouse –are some names you might recognize. If you saw Beyonce's Coachella performance last year –or the Netflix documentary about it -that whole thing was an ode to HBCUs. She had marching bands and step dancers. Beyonce's HBCU tribute was well-timed, because many of these schools are in crisis. Enrollment is down. Government funding is down. More than a dozen HBCUs have closed. (Originally aired November 5, 2019).  Racial Discipline and Achievement Gaps Are Related (36:05)Guest: Francis Pearman, Assistant Professor of Education in the Graduate School of Education at Stanford UniversityIn schools across the US, discipline doesn't get handed out evenly. Black high school students are twice as likely to be suspended as white or Hispanic students. Black students also lag behind white students on standardized test scores. Are these two gaps –the discipline gap and the achievement gap –linked, somehow? (Originally aired November 5, 2019).  How Hunger Impacted German Civilians During and After WWI (50:01)Guest: Mary Cox, William Golding Junior Research Fellow in the Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences at Brasenose College, Oxford UniversityThe First World War was among the deadliest in history. Tens of millions of soldiers and civilians died. Millions more were maimed or emotionally scarred by the brutal fighting in the trenches and use of chemical weapons. Lingering effects of the Great War were also evident in the bodies of German children, who were malnourished throughout the conflict because of a very effective Allied blockade that kept food, fertilizer and military supplies out of Germany. (Originally aired September 18, 2019).  Apple Seed (1:08:30)Guest: Sam Payne of the Apple SeedSam Payne shares about the importance of storytelling in the world. (Originally aired September 18, 2019).  The Evolution of Playground Design and its Effect on Children (1:22:42)Guest: Alexandra Lange, is a Design and Architecture Critic and Author of “The Design of Childhood: How the Material World Shapes Independent Kids”I miss merry go rounds. You hardly find them on playgrounds anymore. On the one hand playgrounds are much cooler than they were when I was a kid. But they also feel less risky. I've wondered if the design of playgrounds affects how kids develop. (Originally aired September 18, 2019).

365 Days until Election 2020. Here's a Preview. (0:30)Guest: Kelly Patterson, PhD, Professor of Political Science, BYU; Adam Dynes, Phd, Professor of Political Science, BYUWe're exactly one year out from the 2020 Presidential Election, so we've got BYU political scientists Kelly Patterson and Adam Dynes in studio to talk about what's ahead. Why is Britain's Parliament so Unruly? (18:22)Guest: Joel Selway, Professor of Political Science at Brigham Young UniversityOne thing Americans have learned from the Brexit drama in Britain is just how different the British Parliament is from our Congress. We're hearing members of the opposition Labour Party shouting down Prime Minister Boris Johnson a few months ago during one of his regular appearances in the British House of Commons. The closest thing we get to that in America is when the President delivers his state of the union address and members of the opposing party refuse to clap or stand. Why is Britain's Parliament so rowdy? And more importantly, how exactly does it work? Mental Health in the Workplace (38:06)Guest: Kelly Greenwood, Founder and CEO of Mind Share PartnersWhen you have the flu, you call in sick and your boss is probably glad you do. But what happens if you have a panic attack? A really bad day with your depression?  An extreme bout of insomnia that keeps you up all night? Most of us still aren't sure how to talk to mental health challenges with our bosses. We're more likely to fudge the details and say we need to take a day because we've got a stomachache or a headache. Physical ailments seem more legitimate. Why Grocery Stores Don't Help Communities in Food Deserts to Stay Healthy (51:05)Guest: Kelseanna Hollis-Hansen, PhD Candidate at the University at Buffalo and Graduate Research Assistant at the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical SciencesIn places sometimes referred to as “food deserts” healthy food options are farther and more expensive than normal. The obvious answer would be to just put up another supermarket. But researchers at the University at Buffalo found that new grocery stores actually lead to a decrease in people eating their fruits and veggies. Historically Black Colleges and Universities are Struggling to Survive (1:04:49)Guest: Delece Smith-Barrow is Senior Editor for Higher Education at The Hechinger ReportMartin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, Thurgood Marshall, Alice Walker, Toni Morrison, Spike Lee, Oprah Winfrey, Samuel L. Jackson, Chadwick Boseman –aka Black Panther. That's just a partial list of prominent African Americans who graduated from an HBCU, which stands for Historically Black Colleges and Universities. There are more than a hundred HBCUs around the country –Howard, Tuskegee, Spelman, Shaw, Fisk, Morehouse –are some names you might recognize. If you saw Beyonce's Coachella performance last year –or the Netflix documentary about it -that whole thing was an ode to HBCUs. She had marching bands and step dancers. Beyonce's HBCU tribute was well-timed, because many of these schools are in crisis. Enrollment is down. Government funding is down. More than a dozen HBCUs have closed. Racial Discipline and Achievement Gaps Are Related (1:26:32)Guest: Francis Pearman, Assistant Professor of Education in the Graduate School of Education at Stanford UniversityIn schools across the US, discipline doesn't get handed out evenly. Black high school students are twice as likely to be suspended as white or Hispanic students. Black students also lag behind white students on standardized test scores. Are these two gaps –the discipline gap and the achievement gap –linked, somehow?

The most important takeaway from this episode depends on your own personal experiences and how you can relate. Kim shares her story having an 11 month marriage with a man who had lived with HIV for more than 8 years. Kim found out about his diagnosis when her late husband was literally on his death bed. After going through his medical history and journals, she found that Brandon, her late husband, had sought out spiritual counseling and the guidance he had received was to NOT treat himself and that his faith should lead him through his condition. Spiritual leaders and other people in positions of influence are going to give their opinion when consulted on topics based on their knowledge on the subject, even if that knowledge is minimal. We cannot stop them from doing that. What we CAN do is seek medical advice from qualified medical professionals when it comes to our health. Here's Kim's story! About the guest: Kimberly M.

Today we are joined by Graduate Research Assistant and Wildlife Biology Major, Miranda C. Reinson.  Miranda has traveled all over the world helping with different studies such as helping with Pandas in China and Elk in Western Wyoming.  We talked today mostly about the work she has done bull-dogging whitetail deer to the ground and putting collars around their neck down on the Platte River in Central Nebraska.  

This podcast explores Family Resiliency Center’s STRONG Kids 2 research project and what it could mean for the future of childhood obesity prevention and interventions. Using a cells-to-society approach to nutrition, the STRONG Kids 2 transdisciplinary project will provide unique insights into how individual biology interacts with the family environment to promote healthy eating habits in young children. It is one of the first studies to take a longitudinal look at the habits, including milk and dairy consumption, from birth. To date, many consider the data this research team has collected to be a “gold mine” of health information on the early years of life as it relates to childhood obesity risk factors. Hosted by: Ryann Monahan, Research Communications Specialist Featuring: Erin Davis, Graduate Research Assistant, Nutritional Sciences, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign | Awarded the 2016-2017 Dannon Gut Microbiome, Yogurt, and Probiotics Fellowship Grant Funding: This research was funded by grants from the National Dairy Council to Sharon Donovan and Barbara H.

Today we're happy to welcome Mara Howard Williams to the show. Mara has traveled extensively throughout the US, and around the world supporting critical medical mission work. She currently works as a Graduate Research Assistant at America's Health Rankings while also pursing her masters in the School of Global Public Health at UNC, Chapel Hill. Mara is a special guest for us because she's also one of Keith's former patients. Diagnosed in her early teens with advanced scoliosis, Mara underwent corrective deformity surgery (by Keith) when she was just fifteen years old. Following her recovery, Mara was asked to offer advice and help to several other young patients facing similar paths. Mara was happy to help, wishing she had had someone (her age) to talk with before her surgery. It didn't take long for Mara to recognize that more than just a few kids needed help. She took the initiative and started an incredibly successful support network called BalkTalk. This was a place where kids could talk with, and ask questions of, peers just like themselves. We're going to learn more about Mara's efforts and what it was like to be a young patient facing major surgery. We'll also explore Mara's medical mission work abroad. We covered the cultural dynamics of patient treatment, what medical NGO's do well (and what they do not), how you can get involved, and the mistakes and legal oversights many physicians make when going on medical missions abroad. This was a fascinating episode we hope you enjoy listening to Mara as much as we did.

This week I talked to Logan Kamperschroer, a Graduate Research Assistant at the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics at Purdue University. Logan’s research focuses on hypergolic rocket fuels—specifically the push to move away from the toxic storable propellants (hydrazine and its derivatives) to “greener” alternatives. We talked about the current state of storable propellants, and where things are going in the near future.
