Discover how artificial intelligence is transforming calf care in this month's Harvesting Innovation webinar, Artificial Intelligence Meets Animal Welfare. This session will explore how precision technologies can detect subtle behavior changes in group-housed dairy calves—often days before visible symptoms of illness appear. Learn how these early warning systems support timely identification of conditions such as pneumonia and diarrhea, reduce antibiotic use, and enhance on-farm decision-making.
"Using microCT to examine pipeline degradation in extreme environments"Presenter: Dr. Derek M. HallAssistant Professor of Mechanical EngineeringFaculty Member of the Institute of Energy and the EnvironmentJoin the Penn State Computed Tomography (CT) Users Group, hosted by the Center for Quantitative Imaging (CQI). This group is open to faculty, students, and researchers across all Penn State campuses who are interested in harnessing the power of computed tomography for their work. All experience levels are welcome, from novice to expert.

Harmful algal blooms (HABs) pose serious risks to environmental, human, and animal health—and they're not just a Great Lakes issue. In Pennsylvania, these blooms are most often linked to the rapid growth of cyanobacteria, naturally occurring organisms that can release dangerous toxins when conditions such as excess nutrients align. During this Water Cooler Talk, explore the science behind HABs, their impact on health, and the role of nutrient pollution in bloom formation.
