Around here, teaching is research, research is teaching, and it should all be fun!
The fun began Fall, 2016 with Russ teaching this introductory animal science class to 420 students. The class was a full-on party – students got to flip sheep, shuck oysters, and milk cows – at the same time learning all about what makes animals as fascinating as they are! To top the quarter off, the class had the first inaugural ANS001 Ice Cream Contest, that included students making 22 different flavors that went through 2 rounds of high profile judging! And of course not to forget that Russ’ dog Sunny, and his Morgan horse Red, got to come to class too!
A senior class for Animal Science majors. In this class Russ covers all aspects of normal and abnormal mammary gland biology and lactation across species. In the lab, students have various hands-on experiences including anatomy, histology and morphology, genetics, biochemistry and dairy management.
