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.

The mystery of the fishmouth
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.

Digital Storytelling takes brain power!
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!
