CURRICULUM VITAE

Previous Employment and Experience:

• 1988-1989 Postdoctoral Research Associate, Texas Tech University. Developed immune assays for use in swine and cattle. Studied the effect of stress and genetics on animal health and immune function.
• 1989-1989 Postdoctoral Research Associate, Pharmacia LEO Therapeutics, Malmo, Sweden. Research was conducted to determine the effect of a neuroleptic agent on behavior and immune function in pigs.
• 1989 -1990 NIH Postdoctoral Fellow in Immunology, Boston University School of Medicine. Research was conducted to identify the effect of stress on early immune events using a mouse model.
• 1991-1994 Research Associate, USDA-ARS, Meat Animal Research Center, Clay Center, NE. Studies were conducted to determine the physiological and behavioral consequences of high environmental temperatures in cattle and central nervous system regulation of adaptation.
• 1994 Research Leader and Lead Scientist of the Agricultural Research Service Livestock Behavior Research Unit. Responsibilities include initiating and developing a research program directed toward understanding the relationship between animal behavior and well-being. Research areas include identification of internal states of animal cognition and perception and the development of indicators of well-being for food producing animals.

Honors:

• 1984 Gamma Sigma Delta
• 1989 NIH Postdoctoral Fellowship Award
• 1994 Sigma Xi
• 1996 USDA-ARS Certificate of Merit
