Your Path to CALS
Meet Alexia Alexander, a CALS senior majoring in animal science. 👋✨ Follow along for a day in her life as she goes to classes, participates in extracurriculars and stops by the @NCStateHowlingCow Creamery!
From agricultural education to the airwaves, Ph.D. student and double CALS alumna Bhavisha Gulabrai is helping people better understand how their food is produced. 🎙️
Gulabrai’s academic foundation at NC State is rooted in animal and poultry science. She’s leveraging that scientific background toward a doctorate in agricultural education and human sciences, focusing on closing the gap between the animal agriculture industry and the public.
In addition to her dissertation research, graduate assistantship, Extension outreach and more, she has also helped launch The Science that Feeds Us podcast, which explores the stories and science at the heart of food systems.
“I want to help communicate and build trust with the public about food production through transparency and evidence-based messaging,” she said.
