National Animal Disease Center Hosts Chicago High School

Students from the Chicago High School for Agricultural Sciences visited ARS's National Animal Disease Center in Ames, Iowa. ARS scientist Mark Ackermann provided students with hands-on labs that covered reading x-rays, spinning blood samples, and examining the internal anatomy of pigs. The visit was part of ARS's Three Sisters Project an educational outreach effort to ensure a steady pipeline of fresh ideas, talent and diversity to the ranks of tomorrow's scientists, and other professionals.
