This past summer I traveled to Argentina for a project supported by the ACES Global Food Security Fellowship program to present the first results of a research project on the adoption of crossbreed cattle as a response to climate change and to design a survey that will gather data on cattle ranchers.
URBANA, Ill. – When we’re married or in a long-term romantic relationship, we may eventually come to take each other for granted and forget to show appreciation. A new study from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign finds that it doesn’t have to stay this way.
The study examined why perceived gratitude from a spouse or romantic partner changes over time, and whether it can be improved through relationship intervention programs.
My 4-H journey began when I was just 8 years old when I joined the Chester 4-H club. At that time, I was absolutely terrified of public speaking and even raising my hand during a club meeting. However, through talks and demonstrations within my club, conference-style judging at the county fair, the annual public speaking contest, and even speaking to legislators in DC, I gradually came out of my shell and grew into a confident leader within 4-H.

URBANA, Ill. — As a source of protein and biodiesel for cleaner renewable energy, soybean is an important crop worldwide. But is it performing to its full potential? An ambitious effort led by the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and the U.S. Department of Energy Joint Genome Institute (JGI) will sequence 400 soybean genomes to develop a “pangenome” — an attempt to characterize all the useful diversity in the genome to create an even more robust and resilient crop.
