Three University of Wyoming graduate students will present their research to the public during a Science Café Sunday, March 1, at 1:30 p.m. in Sublette County.

Like a duck that, on the surface, looks like it is calmly floating on the water while paddling furiously underneath, a bumble bee hovering over a flower may look like it’s not doing much to the naked eye.

On Tuesday, March 17, the University of Wyoming Extension Sheep Task Force will host a free webinar about managing flock health around lambing season. The webinar, which is the first of two episodes, will discuss strategies for mitigating ewe and lamb stress from late gestation through docking.

In the inaugural U.S. Governors Cup Robotics Tournament last weekend, a Laramie County 4-H team brought Wyoming youth into the national spotlight, highlighting the state’s dedication to excellence in science and technology.

Women’s contributions to ranching have been historically overlooked, but the latest rendition of the University of Wyoming’s Larsh Bristol Photojournalism Fellowship challenges these assumptions. 

The University of Wyoming Extension welcomes Zachary Hein as the new 4-H youth development educator serving Sheridan County. 

On Thursday, Feb. 26, the University of Wyoming College of Agriculture, Life Sciences and Natural Resources will facilitate a Ranch Management and Agricultural Leadership (RMAL) seminar about running a successful family-operated business. 

New research by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the University of Wyoming, published this week in Current Biology, reveals that migrating mule deer access more productive summer ranges, have higher adult survival, and raise more offspring compared to resident mule deer that remain year-round in a desert ecosystem.

Thanks to the hard work of two University of Wyoming professors and their field team of graduate students and technicians, the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI) has added a new forest site within the Teton mountain range to the Forest Global Earth Observatory (ForestGEO) network, which spans 29 countries. 

The University of Wyoming Extension has organized a series of interactive online trainings for new and returning 4-H volunteers.

Sean Giery, an incoming associate research professor in the University of Wyoming’s Department of Zoology and Physiology, has been named a President’s Distinguished Scholar in recognition of his outstanding research achievements and growing national and international impact in ecology and evolutionary biology.

How exactly do gametes come together and fuse to create new life? That’s what Jen Pinello, an assistant professor in UW’s molecular biology department, set out to investigate. Surprisingly, her research may also hold the key to preventing the infectious spread of deadly diseases, such as malaria.

Have you ever opened your fridge to discover that those strawberries you bought last week are now coated with an unappetizing layer of gray fuzz? Fungal diseases threaten crop production, food security, and human health worldwide. Gray mold alone afflicts more than 200 plant species, including agricultural crops, and results in more than $10 billion in losses annually.

As many Wyoming residents have experienced firsthand, invasive plants like cheatgrass increase wildfire risk and compete with native species for water and nutrients. In some cases, they can also be toxic to grazing animals. While these scourges pose serious threats to agricultural operations, a study by UW scientists may provide some reassurance for Wyoming sheep producers.
