Good morning, Bryan.

Registration is open for the 72nd annual Texas A&M Beef Cattle Short Course from Aug.

3-5 in Bryan-College Station, and the event will host nearly 2,000 attendees. This long-running educational gathering offers key insights into beef cattle management.

Texas A&M will receive $6.27 million in NIH funding to study how alcohol and cocaine may affect cognitive flexibility—this five-year research aims to uncover brain circuit mechanisms that could improve addiction treatment in local communities.

Texas A&M University researchers have started the TOPS program so students in grades 6–12 can learn to spot risks and say no to drugs.

The program trains local educators and coaches to share this approach with schools while meeting state rules (Tucker’s Law).
