Anthony Lupo
Lupo, Professor of Atmospheric Sciences, Atmospheric Science Program, University of Missouri (MU). He has a BS in Meteorology (State University of New York at Oswego, 1988), and an M.S. and Ph.D. in atmospheric science (Purdue University, 1991, 1995). His research is in large-scale atmospheric dynamics and teleconnections, climate dynamics and variability, tropical meteorology, and climate change including modeling, and has more than 160 peer-reviewed publications. He is a member of the American Meteorological Society (Certified Consulting Meteorologist [CCM] #660), and the National Weather Association.

Chung-Ho Lin
Lin is the lead scientist for the bioremediation, natural products and bioanalytical programs at the Center for Agroforestry at University of Missouri. His primary research involves the use of plants, microbes and engineered enzymes for bioremediation, ecological restoration, and development of bioeconomy. His bioremediation research focuses on bioremediation of organic pollutants and human pathogens. Since the COVID19 pandemic in 2020, Dr. Lin has successfully redirected the analytical resources and led his research team joining the task force ‘Coronavirus Sewershed Surveillance Project’ sponsored by the state and federal agencies to provide an early warning and capture the emergence of the…

Allison Meyer
My overall research objective is to improve efficiency and productivity in beef cattle production through strategic nutritional management of the cowherd. I am especially interested in physiological adaptation mechanisms of pregnant females to their nutritional environment that allow for maternal maintenance and fetal growth. An additional major interest is the developmental programming implications of maternal nutrition when this adaptation is not possible and fetal development is impaired. This overall objective includes investigation into applied production implications as well as systemic physiological, tissue-level, and cellular mechanisms.

Matthew Lucy
Lucy is known for his work on the reproductive physiology of high-producing dairy cows. His current research program examines the physiological processes regulating fertility in dairy cows and explores practical methods that evolve from this research. Early embryonic loss is one of the most-pressing reproductive problems facing the dairy industry today. His current work, therefore, focuses on early embryonic development and how uterine disease early postpartum leads to early embryonic loss. Studies range from basic (transcriptomics) to applied (whole animal field trials). Educational background Ph.D., University of Florida…
