Dr. Colin G. Scanes is Professor Emeritus of Ecology, Evolution & Behavior at the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee. He obtained his PhD from the University of Wales and his DSc from Hull University. His research interests include anthrozoology; animal physiology, nutrition, and production; and veterinary medicine. He has received numerous awards for his research in animal and agricultural sciences, most recently from the American Society of Animal Science. In addition to faculty positions with the University of Wisconsin, Iowa State University, and Mississippi State University, Dr. Scanes has worked various federal positions with the USDA, SANREM CRSP, DOE, and EPA FQPA. He has led the development of more than a dozen books, including the first edition of Animals and Human Society and the 6th and 7th editions of Sturkie’s Avian Physiology. Sami Dridi received his Accreditation to Supervise Research (HDR) in Structural Biology, Biochemistry, and Cell Signaling from the University of Paris XI. He got his PhD and master’s degrees in Molecular and Cellular Biology and Poultry Science from the National Polytechnic Institute of Lorraine (INPL) and National Institute for Agronomic Researches (INRA), France. He joined several international teams such as UNC-Chapel Hill, University of Kentucky, University of Leuven (Belgium), ENITA Bordeaux (France), ENV Nantes (France), and West Virginia University as a postdoctoral fellow, contractual professor, or main investigator. He joined the University of Arkansas in 2013. He is currently a full professor in avian endocrinology and molecular genetics. He strives to consistently rise the next generation of poultry scientists and produce significant research that will bring both fundamental understanding as well as practical solutions to ongoing poultry problems. He has led the development of 7th edition of Sturkie’s Avian Physiology.
