Champaign, IL (June 7, 2024)—The American Dairy Science Association® (ADSA) is pleased to announce Adamarie S. Márquez Acevedo as the 2024 recipient of the ADSA Foundation Graduate Student Literature Review Award: Production Division (MS). The award will be presented on Tuesday, June 18, 2024, during the awards ceremony at the ADSA Annual Meeting in West Palm Beach, Florida.
The ADSA Foundation Graduate Student Literature Review Award: Production Division (MS) was created to recognize graduate students who have composed in-depth and extensive literature reviews in their thesis or dissertation and allow for these papers to be published in the Journal of Dairy Science® as review papers, making them available as references for citations in original research papers. The winner must be a graduate student (or within six months of graduation) at the time of the article submission to the Journal of Dairy Science. The article must be no more than 30 double-spaced pages, including references and graphs, have no more than 75 references, and be focused on a topic in dairy science.
Adamarie S. Márquez Acevedo was born in Carolina, Puerto Rico. She grew passionate about the dairy industry after she saw how important it was for Puerto Rico’s economy and food sovereignty. After completing her undergraduate degree in animal sciences and global resource systems at Iowa State University, she started her graduate journey at the University of Idaho with aspirations to become a reproductive physiology scholar who researches the physiological and molecular heat adaptations of tropical breeds. Her current research focuses on the direct and indirect effects of heat stress on Holstein dairy cow liver and mammary tissue, specifically studying how heat stress affects mitochondrial behavior parameters. Additionally, in collaboration with the University of Puerto Rico, she secured funding that will allow for the description of the molecular adaptations to heat stress of Puerto Rican slick-hair Holsteins. Through her research curricula, she is trying to describe the cellular and subcellular mechanisms underpinning heat stress–induced lactation depression as well as adaptations found in tropically adapted dairy breeds. Her professional aspirations are to become a tenured professor in reproductive biology and use research to highlight the priorities of the Puerto Rican agriculture industry.
It is with great pleasure that ADSA and the ADSA Foundation present Adamarie S. Márquez Acevedo with the 2024 ADSA Foundation Graduate Student Literature Review Award: Production Division (MS).
