Research Interests
My
primary research interests involve Reproductive Physiology, with
an emphasis on Swine. I am currently assisting with Ovari-Hysterectomy
Surgeries and Heat/Preg. Checking in one of W.S.U.'s Animal Science
lab. My personal research project involves inducing parturition
in sows and watching their behavior to the treatments.

Biography
Hello,
my name is Michelle Conover. Currently I am a Junior at Washington
State University, majoring in Animal Sciences. I grew
up in a small town in Western Washington called Castle
Rock; population less than 2,500 people. I attended Toutle
Lake School for my primary education and graduated in 1997 as Valedictorian
of my senior class. During my senior year I also I participated
in the Running Start Program while attending Lower Columbia Community
College.
My
activities and involvements at W.S.U. include: Student Swine Cooperative,
the Agriculture and Home Economic Student Senate, the National Wildlife
Society, the Alpha Zeta fraternity, and currently the McNair Achievement
Program. I plan on graduating in May, 2001 with a B. S. in
Animal Sciences. Following this, I am planning on attending
graduate school to specialize in an area of Swine Production, possibly
Swine Reproduction or Behavioral Studies.
Aside
from my education, I am also very active in outdoor activities.
During the summer you will find me mountain climbing, camping, water
skiing, and fire fighting. During the winter, I will usually
be found on the slopes ski-boarding.
Michelle
is currently a Ph.D. student at Purdue University
