The Dairy Innovation Hub held its third annual Dairy Symposium on Wednesday, May 15, at the Memorial Union on the University of Wisconsin–Madison campus. During the day-long event, which drew over 200 attendees, scientists shared and discussed their Hub-funded work with researchers, students, campus colleagues, and others.
Through poster sessions, keynote presentations, breakout discussions, and student flash talks, the Dairy Symposium highlighted examples of the Hub’s most advanced research and facilitated discussions about how this work can help meet the challenges facing today’s dairy community. Symposium is the academic-focused companion to the public-focused Dairy Summit held each November.
“The Dairy Symposium is open to colleagues from all campuses involved with the Dairy Innovation Hub. [It’s] truly a collaborative effort,” says Glenda Gillaspy, dean of the UW–Madison College of Agricultural and Life Sciences. “[What’s presented today is] just scratching the surface of the tremendous research supported by the Hub.”
