Congratulations to my pal, Dr. Ryan Avenatti!

Hay Folks,

Ryan aboard the great Lord Nelson!

After five long, hard years working at the lab bench and out in the Treadmill Barn with my gal pals at Rutgers, Ryan Avenatti has finally earned his Ph.D.!  Now, he will be Dr. Avenatti! 

I was going to give him doughnuts as a graduation gift, but…unfortunately, I ate them… So, I’m writing a blog all about him and his research to make up for my insatiable sweet tooth.  This Monday, he presented his research entitled, “Effects of age and acute exercise on mediators of inflammation and energy homeostasis in horses”.  All those fancy words, pretty much mean, how a horse’s exercise physiology changes with age.

Buzz-Buzz-Buzz: What’s the Buzz on that Buzzing?

Spring is finally here bringing lovely warm weather, as well as those nasty, annoying, biting flies! Not only do they bite and hurt, but they can make me and my other pasture buddies very sick. On top of that, they swarm on my sweet, delicious doughnuts!
