Good afternoon CGIL,

Unfortunately, Dr. Albert De Vries will not be able to present this Friday due to the imminent storm in the US. We updated our seminar and Gabriella Dodd will give a presentation this Friday September 30th, 2022. The seminar will begin at 1:30 PM EDT/EST on the virtual platform Microsoft Teams. The title of the presentation is: "Implementation of Two Trait Analysis for Heat Stress In Swine".

To join this seminar, please ensure you have downloaded the Microsoft Teams application to your computer, or join the meeting online by using the web browser version of Microsoft Teams. Please join the meeting with your microphone on mute and camera turned off. After the presentation, you can unmute the microphone, and optionally turn on the camera, if you wish to ask a question. Alternatively, should you wish to pose your question in the chat function, it will be monitored and asked to the presenter.
