Meet a #RealPorkScholar, Molly Kroeger! Molly is obtaining her PhD in Immunobiology from Iowa State University. Her current studies focus on immunology of Porcine Circovirus Type 2 and 3 infection. Upon her graduation, Molly will work as a Microbiologist in the North American Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) Vaccine Bank. "I strive to be engaged with the pork industry in three capacities: working in animal health, educating the general public, and volunteering in high school agriculture activities. I am excited to transfer and utilize the industry insight, connections with industry professionals, and advocacy skills gained through this fellowship to better swine health and to share the story of pig farming with consumers." Thank you for sharing your story, Molly. We can't wait to see contributions to the swine industry! Learn more about the Real Pork Scholars program here: https://bit.ly/46JtsS4

The swine industry has so much to offer young people – including teaching valuable life skills, demonstrating the importance of hard work and giving students proof of how much they can accomplish. We are so proud of National Pork Board team member Cheyenne Hebert and her husband Logan, who are exemplifying the positive impact of agriculture and leadership to Louisiana youth with no previous agricultural experience. Read more about the Heberts’ impact in Jennifer Shike’s recent Farm Journal Pork article. https://lnkd.in/gjxJgzy5
