  • Even Better to Be Home
    • My year as interim provost at UK was similar to international travel: always interesting but no time to get comfortable, many new opportunities but difficult to finish important tasks, fun and fascinating to be there but even better to be home.

  • So We Can Farm Forever
    • "We're experiencing a big change in our agriculture in this state with the decline of tobacco production," said Williams, assistant professor of horticulture. "Also, there are changes that are happening globally and in this nation?gas prices for instance?that are changing the way we look at agriculture. Do we want to give up this history of farming, or do we want to try to find ways to maximize it and to create highly efficient, profitable farming systems?"

  • Moving Beyond The Lab
    • They don't wear suits at the office?unless they're meeting with venture capitalists. They still have offices on campus, not in a corporate tower. And they are still PhDs. But some faculty members in the College of Agriculture have taken their science to the marketplace in start-up companies. Here are some of those whose discoveries could lead to a vast array of new natural products, open up unforeseen job opportunities, and boost the state's economy.

  • Turning Bat Notions Upside Down
    • The woods ring with the sound of birds settling in for the night. A moist, humus-y smell rises from the forest floor. As the horizon cools, night creatures begin to stir?owls, moths, bats. And Mike Lacki. Just as moths attract bats, bats have drawn the University of Kentucky forestry professor to nocturnal forests from Kentucky to the Pacific Northwest. To Lacki, the night isn?t filled with the fearsome animals, shadows, and strange sounds that so many people dread. Lacki, like his bats, has found his niche in the forest?s night.

  • Keeping Kentucky's Animals Healthy
    • The equine and livestock industries are hallmarks of Kentucky agriculture, steeped in tradition and bringing in billions of dollars of agricultural revenue. For both reasons, it's important to keep Kentucky's animals healthy. That's a role scientists at the UK Livestock Disease Diagnostic Center (LDDC) take to heart. Its veterinary specialists work with farmers and veterinarians across Kentucky to improve animal health and find solutions to problems.

  • Research Annual Report 2005
    • It is a pleasure to once again summarize the successes of the Kentucky Agricultural Experiment Station for 2005. Our scientists are always looking for new opportunities while also responding to unexpected and emerging issues. In 2005 our scientists worked on 112 projects in the areas of food, farms, family and communities, biology, and business.
