Dr. Morrie Craig recently gave two research presentations. The first, on Feb. 11, was a presentation to the Academy for Lifelong Learning (ALL) on “The Iditarod – the Last Great Race.” Those attending were primarily OSU alums that live in the Willamette Valley. He gave an overview of the Iditarod with emphasis on the advancement of science that has occurred from research on long distance racing. Underlining the whole story are the sled dogs that run 1,100 miles in about 9 days and love what they do.
The second, on Feb. 25, was for the Linus Pauling Institute titled “Ruminal Microbes to the Rescue.” He reported on the research done by his graduate students, post doctoral fellows, and colleagues that have connected nutrition and toxicology during the 31 years he has been at OSU.
