It is a metaphor used to describe how women disappear from careers like STEM. If there is leakage in the pipeline then water inflow will be more as compared to water outflow. In a same manner, number of young girls who enter in STEM programs is large as compared to number of professional women leadersContinue reading “Women in STEM: A leaky Pipeline”

Hi Everyone! Hope all are doing good and safe from COVID19. Today I wish to discuss about a digitally controlled robotic construction process that can build up complex 3D food products layer by layer. It is known as “3D Food Printing”. In this present scenario where we find food going “out of stock” I hopeContinue reading “3D Food Printing – Future Food!”

The evolution of the pandemic during the coming days and weeks will be crucial, and its impact on the economy or the agricultural sector will very much depend on the time needed to stop the spread of the deadly virus. Assessing the impact on the agricultural sector is therefore premature, speculative at this stage andContinue reading “Covid-19 Impacts on Agriculture”

Current global fuel available is based on fossil fuels (oil, natural gas, coal), but with the increasing world population, the energy consumption per capita and the evidence of global warming, the necessity for long-term alternative energy sources is apparent.Oil and gas experts believes that exhaustation of fossil fuel is not a distant possibility rather than the nearContinue reading “Energy Hope:Bio-fuel production by fast pyrolysis method”

Pastoral scenes of endless farming lands of Hemp are fine for the art framework, but current scenario by no means took hemp as “easy-to-go-with- production”. All hemp cultivation is required to be subjected upon state agencies and USDA approval, as hemp production is closely associated with federally-controlled crop marijuana. Hemp and marijuana are closely-tied varieties ofContinue reading “Legislation vs Biology: Hemp cultivation takes a divergent mode”

Hello everyone. This is Pranav Vashisht, a graduate student of Food Science and today I’m going to tell you about the costliest cheese of this world. So whenever it comes to our mind about the food budget we generally keep it in the minimum expenses column of our home budget but have you ever thoughtContinue reading “Pule Cheese- The costliest cheese of this world”

Last winter I was introduced to the field of agricultural sciences. Before then, I did not know how broad the field of study was, and I was not aware of the many different career opportunities that the government and private sectors have to offer. All I immediately thought of was farming. As I looked intoContinue reading “Agricultural Education”

A journal club is an educational meeting where a group of individuals review published articles to keep abreast with new knowledge, and current research methodologies/ findings. On the commencement of my master’s degree program at Tennessee State University this year, I have been opportune to attend several journal club meetings with my professors and fellowContinue reading “JOURNAL CLUB MEETING”

This month I participated in the measurement of soil respiration using the pp system (EGM5 Carbon dioxide analyzer), in the Lab of Climate and Soil Biogeochemistry, Tennessee State University. I found this procedure very fascinating and I would be sharing a brief description of this procedure and a background on soil respiration. Interestingly, over 2,700 GigatonnesContinue reading “SOIL RESPIRATION”
