Harley Naumann
Dr. Harley Naumann is an Extension State Forage & Grazing Specialist at the University of Missouri and a faculty member in the Division of Animal Sciences. He received a Ph.D. from Texas A&M University where he evaluated nutritional impacts of native rangeland legumes on ruminant animal production. Dr. Naumann conducts teaching, research and outreach focused on the plant-animal interface. His primary interest is planning and utilizing resilient forage-livestock systems that extend, and even out the unevenness of, cool-season grass-based grazing systems. Dr. Naumann’s work includes strategic use of perennial and annual cool and warm season forages to increase grazing days…

Thomas Spencer
Spencer’s laboratory seeks to define critical physiological and genetic pathways that regulate uterine development, function, and regeneration in order to improve reproduction and health of women and animals. His earlier work established that the glands of the uterus are essential for embryo survival and growth using the ovine uterine gland knockout model. Subsequent research revealed fundamental aspects of postnatal uterine development and uterine receptivity as well as illuminated the evolutionary biology and functional role of endogenous retroviruses in placental development. Current research foci in his lab include: cellular and molecular mechanisms governing development of the uterus; maternal and paternal regulation…
