Imagine a salmon filet that looks, tastes and is as nutritious as freshly cooked salmon but has a shelf-life of more than six months. A new technology developed at WSU will make that a reality and could revolutionize how we preserve and process food.
Featuring Professor Dr. Juming Tang of Washington State University's Department Biological Systems Engineering!

A horrific event happened dating back to October 31, 2009. Unknown people placed a strange, orange object on the fish statue in front of the WSU Extension office. Brave reporter Claire Turner solemnly volunteers to investigate the tragic situation.
Some say it is a basket ball. Some say it is a giant peach; but scientists say that it is a pumpkin. We took a closer look.
How scarry! On your next visit, check this strange happening if you dare.

Hannah Tipton (A.K.A Agent Tipton) prepares for her video role in "The Butterfly Disaster." Hannah and Tyrus Wilcox filmed this short video concept meant to entice young people to learn more about butterflies. They created the idea of a "butterfly conspiracy" with
these beautiful insects invading the Atomic Bunker of the United States. Using fear to motivate their audience, Hannah and Tyrus would then add information about the migratory patterns and biodiversity of butterflies to their film, ending it with Agent Tipton disappearing and transforming into a butterfly herself! Scary! Great job guys on your plot!
Hannah is shown above with Kathryn (last name TBD), a fellow 4-H-er from Rutherford County, TN!

Would anyone be surprised to know that our techies Hannah Tipton and Tyrus Wilcox, 4-H Network News reporters, preferred to explore their computers and the Internet, rather than go to a movie! We had to kill some time before our flight to Washington D.C. from Seattle so these computer whizzes took some time to Photoshop images and search the Net for fun!
