University of Wyoming to unveil new science initiative building mid-March University of Wyoming (UW) students and researchers soon will have access to one of the most technologically advanced facilities in the nation with the completion of the $100 million Science Initiative Building. The 153,000-squarefoot, five-level structure joins several other UW facilities opened in recent years in the northwest section of campus focused on both undergraduate education and cutting-edge research in the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. The project aims to help propel UW into R1 status in the Carnegie Classifications of Institutions of Higher Education, the top tier of American research universities, while also elevating the UW student experience. “The Science Initiative Building is a new place where students can work directly in cutting-edge faculty laboratories and experience hands-on, active learning with hundreds of their peers,” UW President Ed Seidel says. “The facility also is the face of a new northwest corridor at UW which enables our students to experience handson learning in the introductory teaching laboratories of the Michael B. Enzi STEM Facility; the Engineering Education and Research Building for designing new tools for research; the Berry Biodiversity Conservation Center for work in core UW laboratories measuring genomes and the various molecules and their isotopes cycling through our biosphere; and the Energy Innovation Center which is focused on finding solutions to the world’s energy challenges.” A ribbon-cutting ceremony is scheduled March 24, with speakers including Seidel and Science Initiative leaders. The ceremony is scheduled to begin at 8:15 a.m., followed by tours of the new building. The public is invited. Installation and movement of equipment, faculty offices and furnishings will take place over the summer,

with full use of the building expected for the fall 2022 semester. The Science Initiative Building will be home to modern laboratory research space for faculty and students; a state-of-the-art greenhouse and plant growth areas; the Model Organism Research Facility; the Center for Advanced Scientific Instrumentation; and an active-learning classroom and collaborative spaces for undergraduate and graduate education and research. “The Science Initiative Building is a welcome and much-needed expansion of life-science research space on campus. The open-concept design of the labs will allow researchers like myself to realize new efficiencies and establish new collaborative relationships,” says Professor Jay Gatlin, head of UW’s Department of Molecular Biology. “I get particularly excited when I think about how my lab’s research will benefit from the Center for Advanced Scientific Instrumentation. This center will provide access to amazing cutting-edge instrumentation previously unavailable to researchers at UW and will likely have a profound impact on research across campus and throughout the state of Wyoming.” Origins In 2014, a panel of accomplished scientists, industry leaders and other professionals endorsed a plan to improve science education and student success at UW while creating world-class facilities to propel research on issues important to the state and nation. The Wyoming Governor’s Top-Tier Science Programs and Facilities Task Force, chaired by former Gov. Dave Freudenthal and distinguished UW alumna Carol Brewer, emphasized collaboration among multiple disciplines by assembling researchers into a single complex with shared instrumentation, technical support and collaboration spaces. With appropriations by

the Wyoming Legislature and then-Gov. Matt Mead, ground was broken for the building at the corner of Ninth and Lewis streets in November 2018. The construction manager is Jackson-based GE Johnson. In addition to a new building, the taskforce’s 2014 report called for robust training and mentoring programs for science department faculty members in

active-learning practices, along with more research opportunities for students through enhanced faculty mentoring, training programs and internships. Since then, the Science Initiative’s Learning Actively Mentoring Program has trained over 100 faculty members and graduate students in active learning – an instructional approach using collaborative work among

small groups of students and instructors, with traditional lectures replaced by a variety of learning opportunities including short interactive lectures, small-group discussions, case studies and web-based opportunities outside of class. At the same time, the Science Initiative’s Wyoming Research Scholars Program has paired 154 UW undergraduate students with faculty mentors to par-

ticipate in their own cuttingedge research projects. Additionally, Science Initiative “roadshows” have taken active-learning experiences to kindergarten through 12th grade schools across Wyoming. The Science Initiative’s Faculty Innovation Grant Program has been launched to stimulate and bolster submission of interdisciplinary Please see UW on page C2

UW continued from page C1 grant proposals to federal research agencies. With those foundational programs in place and the Science Initiative Building ready to open, the first phase of the Science Initiative is unfolding in a manner promising to improve educational and research opportunities for hundreds of UW students and dozens of researchers. “Every square foot of this building will have a positive impact on undergraduate students. Our number one goal is to have a positive impact on the greatest number of undergraduate students as possible,” says Greg Brown, a UW botany professor and Science Initiative stalwart who is now the part-time executive operations director for the new building. “We believe this is the best high-tech research facility in the Rocky Mountain West for active learning and research.” “The whole building

models what the university is all about – teaching, research, service and outreach,” says Mark Lyford, an academic professional in the Department of Botany who is the executive program director of the Science Initiative. “We expect to touch the whole state through this building.” A venue for active learning The 5,000-square-foot active-learning classroom will be used in the fall semester for all of UW’s introductory biology (LIFE 1010) classes – large courses having up to 200 students each. Other courses scheduled to be taught there this fall are higher-level courses in microbial genetics, human systems physiology, organic chemistry, chemistry and physiology. Students will sit at tables – up to nine per table – and instructors will be able to move among the groups after delivering short introductions to lessons. The classroom has

technology specifically designed so instructors won’t need to carry microphones and student groups will be able to work together without noise disruption. Microphones and speakers will be placed at multiple locations and controlled with a computer isolating the audio as needed for different situations. “This will be transformative for our faculty who are using active-learning methods, because other physical spaces on campus limit what they can do,” Lyford says. “Now, our faculty will be able to do all of the things they’ve wanted with active learning. We’ve already seen a significant impact on student success in our LIFE 1010 classes, which traditionally are quite challenging for students, and we expect this classroom will help us take it even further.” High-tech greenhouses and growth chambers One of the most notable features of the Science Initiative Building is its

Outreach experience – This unfinished space on the fourth level of the Science Initiative Building is the future home of the Student Collaborative Research, Outreach and Learning Laboratory – which will be a one-of-a-kind in the nation, student-focused facility which will transform the research, learning and outreach experiences of UW’s STEM students and kindergarten through 12th grade students across the state.

Industry leading genetics and the highest quality Red Angus, with 77 years of Satisfied Customers Beckton has long been the premier breeder of Red Angus cattle which combine calving ease, maternal traits, and rapid growth to yearling age, for maximum overall profitability to commercial cow-calf cattlemen. Beckton’s balanced genetics and emphasis on the maternal traits, have made them the leading choice for commercial replacement females and for building a productive cow herd. And the lower birth weights make them a first choice for breeding heifers. As an indicator for "maternal" traits, the Herd Builder Index is dominated by Beckton bloodlines. 9 of the top 10, 18 of the top 20, and 43 of the top 50 sires in the breed for Herd Builder are Beckton sires or descended by Beckton sires. In the Red Angus breed, 9 of the top 10 sires for Birth Weight EPD, 8 of top 10 sires for Stayability EPD and 8 of the top 10 sires for Marbling EPD are Beckton sires or descended from Beckton sires.

tant to Wyoming and the nation. “The Science Initiative Building Plant Growth Facility will fundamentally change how we address plant biology questions enabling future agriculture and biodiversity conservation in our state and region,” says botany Professor Brent Ewers, who heads UW’s EPSCoR (Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research) program. “We can now completely control all of the physical environments of plants – humidity, temperature, light and carbon dioxide levels – so we can better perform experiments and cutting-edge measurements. We will be able to test new imaging technologies placing UW at the cutting edge of the plant biotechnology revolution. Our new plant imagers will be the future sensors placed on tractors and drones improving the Wyoming agriculture economy.” “Our lab is particularly excited about the new research-grade greenhouses, which will offer greatly improved control over the test environments experienced by our plants,” says botany Professor Cynthia Weinig, who holds a Wyoming Excellence Chair and does advanced research on plant genetics. “Further, the Science Initiative Building will allow for automated measurements of plant traits and, thus, allow our lab and others to more rapidly test how different treatments affect plant growth. For instance, we are currently funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) to test how microbes found in the soil affect plant growth, either favorably or unfavorably. As one might guess, these microbial communities can be quite sensitive to environmental changes.” One of her research group’s important findings is local microbes can affect performance of plants in the wild, as well as some crops. The work has included two Wyoming Research Scholars, Ella DeWolf and Ayda Lewis. “We hope to continue related work in the new building and continue including undergraduate students in our work,” Weinig says.

Research Labs As many as two dozen UW faculty members will use research laboratories in the Science Initiative Building, which have been designed as shared spaces which can be rapidly modified for different purposes. While the initial roster of faculty using the building has not been finalized, Brown says it’s likely to include researchers in geology, zoology, ecosystem science, botany and molecular biology, among others. “UW is known for its research into flora, fauna and geology, all of which is so important to Wyoming, and you’ll see this intersection across many research groups,” Brown says. “We’ll essentially be doing research here at the molecular, cellular, organismal and ecosystem spatial levels, as well as at temporal levels from seconds to thousands of years.” Users of the labs will be determined by an executive committee focused on making the spaces available to the university’s most promising, productive researchers in areas of importance to Wyoming. It’s expected through a competitive selection process, the lineup of Science Initiative Building researchers will be dynamic over time. The spaces also are designed to encourage interdisciplinary interactions – so-called “collision spaces” – among UW researchers from different disciplines. “The physical space will lead to collaborations which aren’t likely to happen otherwise,” Brown says. For example, Ewers says a $20 million grant from NSF’s EPSCoR allowed UW to combine various disciplines – from soil microbiology and biogeochemistry to genomics, computational biology and data science. “But our students, faculty and postdocs were scattered around UW. Through the Science Initiative Building, we are able to physically collaborate with one another and increase daily ‘collisions,’ leading to new science outcomes,” he says. Top-level instrumentation Located primarily on the building’s first floor, the Center for Advanced Scientific Instrumentation (CASI) will be the core instrument Continued on next page

UW assistant professor discusses the benefits of having meat in the diet The hard-working producers in the state may describe the value of meat in multiple different contexts. Similarly, consumers may describe value in several different ways, including the value meat has on the diet. Decades of research have been invested towards understanding and improving eating experiences for consumers along with how meat products contribute to optimal nutrient targets among different life stages. This discussion will focus on what meat contributes to the human diet. Classification of meat in a diet Several nutrition reviews published in the last two decades have classified lean, unprocessed red meat as being nutrient rich. This description generally refers to the amount of beneficial nutrients provided in a food product at a relatively low

calorie and negative nutrient components. In other words, the caloric cost of these foods is low and multiple beneficial or essential nutrients are provided simultaneously. High-quality protein has been a major discussion point for lean, unprocessed red meat products in the diet. Approximately 25 grams of protein (range may be 21 to 26 grams depending on the cut) is available in a three ounce portion of many cooked lean, unprocessed beef, pork or lamb cuts. To put this into context, some of these cooked portions of lean, unprocessed beef, pork or lamb provide this level of protein at calorie levels in the neighborhood of 180 to 220. Amino acids are arranged to build protein and more focus on amino acid composition continues to drive how foods are categorized for protein quality.

The essential or indispensable amino acids which cannot be produced within the human body have to be provided by the diet. Individually, previous research has considered many lean, unprocessed beef, pork and lamb cuts to be considered high-quality due to the essential amino acid composition. However, a continued research area focuses on the digestibility of amino acids in a meal and how foods can complement deficiencies for certain life stages. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), cuts of meat considered ‘lean’ have less than 10 grams of total fat, 4.5 grams or less of saturated fat and less than 100 mg of cholesterol in a 3.5 ounce (100 gram) portion. Over time, changes to animal genetics, feeding strategies, fabrication styles and fat trimming have resulted

in 38 cuts of beef and several cuts of pork and lamb meeting this definition of lean. Collectively, total fat in many lean red meat cuts has reduced over time due to these factors. Fats in meat Fat content in meat is still a major focus area in nutrition research, especially when considering how fat impacts health outcomes. In general, the predominate class of fatty acids in lean, red meat products are monounsaturated fatty acids. The next predominate class of fatty acids found in these products is saturated fatty acids, but stearic acid makes up approximately one-third of the saturated fat content. Several studies have found stearic acid has a neutral effect on blood lipids. Perhaps another important factor to point out is the 2020-2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA)

continues to recommend no more than 10 percent of calories originate from saturated fat in the diet and the saturated fat content of lean red meat cuts (three ounce portion) can fit this recommendation, depending on what else is consumed in the diet. Beyond protein, amino acid composition and level of fat delivered in cooked, lean, unprocessed meat products, there are several essential vitamins and minerals provided to support growth and physiological function across the human lifespan. Lean, unprocessed red meat cuts generally provide iron, zinc, vitamins B6, B12, riboflavin and niacin. Some lean, unprocessed red meat products are considered good or excellent sources of phosphorus, selenium, thiamin or choline in the diet. Lean, unprocessed red meat products are also generally low in sodium

(approximately 70 to 100 mg in a three ounce portion), which is certainly important to consider with continued DGA recommendations for the U.S. population to focus on following a daily target of 2,300 mg of sodium. It is important to note processed meat products often differ from the above unprocessed discussion because processed meat products can have variable levels of total fat and sodium. For consumers choosing to include lean, unprocessed red meat in their diet, several nutrient rich cuts exist to help individuals across the lifespan consume a safe, flavorful product while simultaneously achieving optimal nutrient targets in a healthy dietary pattern. Most people consume more than one food ingredient in a meal, so it is important to consider how

Continued from previous page facility for the university, enhancing research across all foundational and applied sciences at UW. CASI will be the home of high-tech instruments including electron microscopes, an X-ray refractometer, a mass spectrometer and micro-CT scanners. Some of the equipment is coming from other areas of campus; other pieces are being acquired with American Rescue Plan Act funding. Brown notes CASI’s first-floor location and special construction help provide a crucial vibration-free environment for the sensitive instruments – allowing researchers to “achieve unprecedented sensitivities and efficiencies in probing the fundamental interactions among atoms, molecules and cells underlying all nextgeneration technologies.” CASI also extends to a second-level space where the public will be able to view the high-tech machines in use. Research using animals The Science Initiative’s Model Organism Research Facility (MORF), meanwhile, will bring together UW’s world-recognized biologists into a single collaborative space to foster innovation and convergent research activities addressing some of Wyoming’s most pressing environmental and healthrelated challenges. MORF will be organized around state-of-the-art laboratory animal research facilities specially designed for studies using model and transgenic organisms with appropriate safeguards. While additional funding is being sought to complete MORF, it will get its start with an aquatics holding facility for frogs used in research by Gatlin and fellow molecular biology Professor Dan Levy. Their research uses frog cells to pursue potential treatments for cancer and other human

diseases. Eventually, MORF will be a central laboratory for the many UW scientists who use small animals such as mice and rats in their research. Room to grow About 12 percent of the Science Initiative Building, or 18,000 square feet, is unfinished, “shelled” space for expanded and new programs as funding becomes available. For example, about 1,400 square feet is available to expand CASI for additional scientific instruments. Science Initiative approved plans including completing a 7,000-square-foot area on the fourth level for the Student Collaborative Research, Outreach and Learning Laboratory (SCROLL). Lyford says SCROLL will be a one-of-a-kind in the nation, student-focused facility which will transform the research, learning and outreach experiences of UW’s STEM students and kindergarten through 12th grade students across the state. The Science Initiative Building was constructed to accommodate other programmatic pieces of the Science Initiative which have not yet been funded, such as the Competitive Research Innovation Program for faculty research. The current level of funding for Science Initiative programming is at 26 percent of what was envisioned by the Wyoming Governor’s Top-Tier Science Programs and Facilities Task Force.

DIET continued from page 1 all foods complement one another to reach optimal, beneficial nutrient goals while remaining cognizant of those which should be limited (i.e., total fat, saturated fat, sodium and cholesterol). Available resources and research An online, publicly available resource available to anyone interested in referencing nutrient information for specific foods is the USDA Food Data Central Database found at fdc.nal. usda.gov/. This database houses nutrient information for thousands of foods, including beef, pork and lamb prepared using different cook methods or preparation styles as well as nutrient information for brands of retail foods. Often dietitians, researchers or medical professionals will also reference this nutrient data in addition to consumers who may be interested in nutrient levels of specific foods for their own interest or to ask questions to dietitians or medical professionals. We have learned a lot from decades of research focused on what lean beef, pork and lamb can contribute to the diet. However, meat in the diet continues to be controversial among scientists engaged in diet and health outcome research, which will continue to fuel current and future research in this area as well as consideration of how the entire diet (all foods consumed) impact diet quality. Another component of this complex area includes how much red meat we are consuming as a U.S. population. Many researchers have

been working to estimate population-based intake of many foods, including red meat, recently and in the past decade. Part of this is fueled by questions in the scientific human nutrition community about whether current red meat consumption is too high in the context of negative human health outcomes. Several research trials are ongoing to understand how meat plays a role in human health in specific scenarios in both human randomized control trials and using animal models. Part of the research I am engaged in focuses on evaluating the intake of red meat from the dietary data reported in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 20152016 and 2017-2018. Part of this work has focused on estimating intake of red meat consumed as individual meat items in a meal, in mixed dishes and considers the varied definitions individuals use to describe meat in a meal. For example, breaking apart red unprocessed meat intake from those which might be considered on a spectrum of minimally processed to processed may offer additional data to reference in the nutrition community about consumption trends and provide future insight about future research. In an upcoming article, I will share some of the highlights of our work about intake. Cody Gifford is an assistant professor in the University of Wyoming Department of Animal Science.

McDonald’s and Burger King; Microsoft and Apple; Hatfields and McCoys; farmers and ranchers??? This is a column I’ve been avoiding for years now, but it’s time we address the elephant in the room: What’s the beef between farmers and ranchers? Some of you may be sitting back in your seat and wondering what I’m even talking about – this is OK, up until a few years ago I didn’t realize there was any issues between the two parties. However, in recent years, I’ve come to notice a…well, there’s no other way to put it…weird relationship between these

two sets of agriculturists. Let’s define our terms before we go any further. By definition, a farmer is a person who owns or manages a farm. A farm is “an area of land and its buildings used for growing crops and rearing animals, typically under the control of one owner or manager.” A rancher, as defined, is a person who owns or runs a ranch. A ranch is “a large farm, especially in the western U.S. and Canada, where cattle or other animals are bred and raised.” The two definitions are similar, but to me, the biggest difference comes with what the rancher or farmer prioritizes most. Farmers prioritize crop production more than they do raising animals while ranchers prioritize raising animals over crop production. The two parties are not exactly the same, but they share a common goal of raising products to feed others. Because of this shared goal/end result, one would think farmers and ranchers would get along like two peas in a pod, but according to ranchers and farmers, one would be sorely mistaken. According to an abundance of Google searches, this feud began when the western part of the U.S. was settled. Back when land was there for the taking, farmers and ranchers would battle it out to see who got prime grazing/crop producing land. Nowadays, we have a better idea of what land is better for crops and what land is better to raise animals and, for the most part, many farmers and ranchers respect those boundaries. For example, there’s a large number of farms in northeast Texas because the land is great for crop production. However, in south-central Montana, there’s a large number of ranches because the land is good for cattle and not crops. Meaning a person who wants to grow hundreds of acres of commercial soybeans isn’t going to buy land in Big Timber, Mont. and start tilling the ground. It’s basic ecology. As I said earlier, nowadays, agriculturists respect these differences a little more than they did in the days of the Wild West. So, what’s the deal? I wish I could pinpoint an answer and run with it, but as most relationships go, this one is complicated. I think it all comes down to a difference in choice of lifestyle and the competition which accompanies it. Looking at their yearly timeline alone, you’ve got

planting and harvest season for farmers and calving and shipping season for ranchers. Farmers have equipment in their barn where ranchers have livestock in theirs. Farmers worry about commodity prices where ranchers worry about market prices. Farmers do most of their work from the seat of a tractor whereas ranchers do most of their work horseback or on an ATV of sorts. I think this difference creates a competition between the two parties. Maybe I’m wrong, but it always seems like one has something snarky to say about the other. This is not unique to farmers and ranchers, we see it all the time in everyday life: Ford owners and Chevy owners, basketball players and football players, your small town and the incredibly similar small town 20 miles down the road. To outsiders, all of these things are just two patterns cut from the same cloth; but to the parties involved, it seems like they’re vastly different – and don’t you dare say otherwise. But here I go, daring to say otherwise: You know what the biggest difference between farmers and ranchers is? How they’re not so different at all. They each begin work when the sun comes up and sometimes stop when the sun goes down – most of the time they work until after dark. They each pray for rain, take pride in their labor and focus all their time and energy on making sure whatever land they own is plentiful for generations to come. They each feed you and me, and they do a dang good job of it too. Sure, there are some differences, but at their core, ranchers and farmers are doing everything they possibly can to provide basic nourishment for the world – so why not capitalize on this instead of focusing on our differences? Agriculturists around the globe need to work together to protect our livelihood, they need to quit battling it out amongst themselves and focus on a common enemy because that’s exactly what the common enemy (lab grown food) wants us to do. I mean, how can we as agriculturists expect the rest of the world to take us seriously if we can’t get along, or better yet, lift each other up? So, what if the farmer next door never vaccinated a sheep? Who cares if the rancher down the road has never operated an expensive combine? No one gives a rip if your neighbor raises cows or corn. At the end of the day, everyone has a place in the world. If farmers and ranchers don’t learn to work together and respect one another’s roles in the food system, they’ll be destroyed by lab grown, ultra-processed, FAKE food.
