Undergraduates
Our lab is currently recruiting interns for the following project:
- Oral Behavior in Calves - This study seeks to understand how early life feeding experience influences development of normal and abnormal oral behaviors in dairy cattle. Interns will be involved in weekly behavioral observations at the UC Davis Dairy. Please send your resume to Blair Downey (bdowney@ucdavis.edu) if you are interested.
Our lab offers many internships and independent study opportunities for undergraduates, often involving data collection and daily care of our research animals. To be contacted when additional opportunities arise, please send your resume to Sarah Adcock (sadcock@ucdavis.edu).
