Spring 2017 | The Twitter Issue
There’s just something about spring, isn’t there? As the warm temperatures return so does a renewed sense of energy, a feeling of hopefulness, a desire to make plans and discover new paths. Inspired by a “spring state of mind,” this issue of Impacts aims to highlight a few transformations we’re seeing at UT AgResearch–a department with an updated name, a faculty member just starting her career, and a revived interest in Tennessee cotton, to name a few.
We’ll also highlight the UTRF Maturation program and awards and take you along on a research expedition to China. Field day season will be starting soon. You can find the complete schedule here and even learn some interesting, but perhaps not commonly known, facts about one of our AgResearch and Education Centers.
Impacts contributors enjoy producing this seasonal newsletter to spotlight the endeavors and accomplishments of our faculty and staff. Our Twitter page, however, is a wonderful resource for stories on our people and programs–updated on a daily basis. If you’re not following us at @UTAgResearch, please do so. In keeping with that theme, all of today's stories will be presented as "tweets." Click on the links to read the full stories.
Thanks for your support and Happy Spring!
