Gettin' Ready to JAM!

This week is the ADSA-AMPA-ASAS-CSAS-WSASAS Joint Annual Meeting in Phoenix, AZ. Yeah that's right, its JULY and I'm heading to a conference in Phoenix. Woo. Hoo.

I guess that's kind of appropriate though since mammary glands evolved from sweating...

There are tons of presentations on dairy science- from animal to consumer, but the Lactation Biology Symposium on Wednesday afternoon will be off the hook! Just sayin'-
