Intern to start this summer
Samantha Walker, ASAS Communications Intern
Hello everyone! My name is Samantha Walker and I have the pleasure to be working with ASAS this summer as one of their interns.

Students can earn prizes in ASAS Video Competition
This is the second year for the ASAS YouTube Video Competition! Any member of ASAS can enter the competition, but student members may want to pay extra attention. Not only will video competition winners receive prizes (first place = $1,250) they will also be recognized at the ASAS National Award Program this summer.
Every year at the awards program, ASAS members gather with fellows and veteran scientists to honor great science and industry contributions. These are the leaders in their fields.
By entering the ASAS YouTube Video Competition, you could be a part of that legacy. The winning video will be shown during the ceremony, and information about the winners will be posted on the ASAS website and in the ASAS newsletter, Taking Stock (and the BULLetin, of course). If you want to publicize your research and promote animal agriculture, the video competition is a great place to do it.
The deadline is May 22, 2013

By Amanda Davis, ASAS Southern Section Graduate Director
During this year’s Lunch and Learn at the SS-ASAS Annual Meeting in Orlando, attendees asked for clarification regarding the appropriate manner of dress as animal scientist for interviews and professional meetings. As the next generation of educators, scientists, and industrialists, it is imperative that we make an excellent first impression that reflects professionalism and confidence while staying true to our roots within the agricultural community. Generally the accepted manner of dress for attending conferences is considered business casual; however, during interviews and at professional meetings, a more professional manner of dress is appropriate. Check out my tips below.
