Dr. Ben Bohrer: Career Advice in Academia | Ep. 179

The Swine it Podcast Show

Certainly, we are asking a lot of our professors, especially the new ones, since meeting both their teaching and researching agendas as part of their roles at the university can be quite a challenge. Additionally, they must keep an eye on what is happening in the swine industry and on the ways they can better coordinate their students' training and research goals with the industry demands. In this episode, I talk with Dr. Ben Bohrer about his vast experience with that very interesting topic. He shares some great pieces of advice for the next generation of professors and provides insights on how the industry and the university must stay connected to generate mutual benefits.

"Do not hesitate to ask your new professors for advice. We've dealt with some of the challenges that you might be facing over the next year or two." - Dr. Ben Bohrer
