A proposito di questo titolo

Conor McCabe sits down with CLEAR Conversations host, Tracy Sellers. At the CLEAR Center at UC Davis, researchers spend their days asking a big question with global stakes: how can we raise livestock in ways that are more climate-friendly? For PhD student Conor McCabe, now approaching the end of his fifth year in the Mitloehner Lab, that question has fueled not just one research project—but nearly an entire year of long days, early mornings, and a sprawling scientific effort that spans animals, microbes, emissions, and the future of food systems. McCabe didn’t start out as a dairy kid. He grew up on a small farm in Oregon—“pretty much an Old McDonald’s farm,” he jokes—with pigs, cattle, pumpkins, and Christmas trees. His mother once served as a dairy princess, but dairy cattle weren’t part of Connor’s life until college. After studying animal science across Cornell, Purdue, and now UC Davis, he’s seen “different pockets of cows across the country,” as he puts it. But it wasn’t until arriving at Davis that he found the right intersection of ruminant biology and real-world impact. Text File: 00:00:00:00 - 00:00:00:11 Because at the 00:00:00:11 - 00:00:01:07 end of the day, 00:00:01:07 - 00:00:02:06 what we're 00:00:02:06 - 00:00:02:18 thinking about 00:00:02:18 - 00:00:03:19 how can we 00:00:03:19 - 00:00:04:22 improve nutrition, 00:00:04:22 - 00:00:06:07 how can we reduce 00:00:06:07 - 00:00:07:02 environmental impacts, 00:00:07:02 - 00:00:08:12 and how can we help with 00:00:08:12 - 00:00:09:09 the billions of people 00:00:09:09 - 00:00:10:12 that are involved 00:00:10:12 - 00:00:12:01 in livestock systems. 00:00:12:01 - 00:00:12:12 Think about 00:00:12:12 - 00:00:13:08 how do we create more 00:00:13:08 - 00:00:14:07 sustainable food systems, 00:00:14:07 - 00:00:14:23 at least for 00:00:14:23 - 00:00:15:23 for the rest of my 00:00:15:23 - 00:00:23:10 my career here. 00:00:23:12 - 00:00:24:03 Welcome to 00:00:24:03 - 00:00:25:14 Clear Conversations. 00:00:25:14 - 00:00:25:20 You know, 00:00:25:20 - 00:00:26:11 the clear center. 00:00:26:11 - 00:00:27:03 Our researchers 00:00:27:03 - 00:00:27:23 are testing ways 00:00:27:23 - 00:00:28:19 to make livestock 00:00:28:19 - 00:00:30:01 more climate friendly. 00:00:30:01 - 00:00:30:10 And today, 00:00:30:10 - 00:00:31:02 we're going to be talking 00:00:31:02 - 00:00:31:08 to one of 00:00:31:08 - 00:00:32:08 those researchers. 00:00:32:08 - 00:00:32:21 His name is 00:00:32:21 - 00:00:33:13 Conor McCabe, 00:00:33:13 - 00:00:34:10 and he's a 00:00:34:10 - 00:00:35:06 PhD student in the 00:00:35:06 - 00:00:36:07 Mitloehner lab. 00:00:36:07 - 00:00:36:20 He is working 00:00:36:20 - 00:00:38:00 with feed additives 00:00:38:00 - 00:00:38:17 with dairy cows. 00:00:38:17 - 00:00:39:09 And he's going to tell us 00:00:39:09 - 00:00:39:20 a little bit 00:00:39:20 - 00:00:41:01 about his research today. 00:00:41:01 - 00:00:41:09 Conor, 00:00:41:09 - 00:00:42:07 thanks for joining us. 00:00:42:07 - 00:00:43:11 I'm so happy to be here 00:00:43:11 - 00:00:44:01 and looking 00:00:44:01 - 00:00:44:13 forward to it. 00:00:44:13 - 00:00:45:02 All right. 00:00:45:02 - 00:00:45:21 We are looking forward 00:00:45:21 - 00:00:46:13 to talking to you. 00:00:46:13 - 00:00:47:04 So first of all, 00:00:47:04 - 00:00:47:18 tell us a little bit 00:00:47:18 - 00:00:48:13 about yourself 00:00:48:13 - 00:00:49:06 and your background. 00:00:49:06 - 00:00:50:16 You've done a lot, 00:00:50:16 - 00:00:50:22 even 00:00:50:22 - 00:00:51:18 before you came to UC 00:00:51:18 - 00:00:52:13 Davis.
