Andrea Osorio was born in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. From a young age she knew she would pursue a career in agriculture. She received her BS in Agronomy from Escuela Agricola Panamericana Zamorano. During her senior year of college, she took an animal production course, which awoke her passion towards animal science. After receiving her BS, she worked as a research intern in: 1) the University of Sao Paulo, Luiz de Queiroz (ESALQ) concentrated on dairy calves and genetic improvement of hens; and 2) Kansas State University in feedlot beef cattle nutrition. Then she began her MS focused on sustainable beef cattle nutrition under Dr. Darren D. Henry, at Texas Tech University. During her MS, she investigated the effects of encapsulated calcium-ammonium nitrate on performance and greenhouse gas emissions from grazing beef steers. Her program is focused on improving beef cattle production through reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. Currently, she is a first-year PhD student under Dr. Darren D. Henry at Texas Tech University, where she earned the Distinguished Graduate Student Assistantship (DGSA). Her PhD work will evaluate the use of tannins/saponins in beef cattle production at a systematic level, measuring performance, methane production, and ruminal metabolism of steers from the stocker phase, through finishing and post-harvest.

Mohammad Habibi is a doctoral candidate in the Department of Animal and Food Sciences at Oklahoma State University (OSU). Mohammad obtained his BS and MS degrees in Animal Science and Animal Physiology from Saveh and Shiraz Universities, in 2011 and 2015, respectively. As an undergraduate and graduate student, Habibi maintained the GPA of 4. As a research assistant, Habibi has been working in Dr. Adel Pezeshki’s lab since Fall 2018, where his research is focused on the effect of branched-chain amino acids on growth efficiency and metabolism of young pigs fed with low-protein diets. At the 2020 Nutrition Conference, he was selected as a finalist for the Emerging Leaders in Nutrition Science by the American Society for Nutrition. He then was then awarded 2nd place for the 2021 Joe V. Whiteman Award in the Department of Animal and Food Sciences at OSU. Habibi’s technical abstract was selected third in the OSU Public Writing Contest in 2021. As a first author and coauthor, he has published five papers and 12 abstracts in peer-reviewed journals and national/international conferences, respectively. Habibi has communicated the results of his research as oral and/or poster presentations. Further, Habibi has been an ad-hoc reviewer for Livestock Science.
