Nicholas Crossland, Kansas State University second-year student in veterinary medicine and a graduate student in biomedical sciences from Overland Park, recently spent two days touring Plum Island Animal Disease Center to look at performing a virology graduate project there. The trip was part of a dual-degree program with K-State's College of Veterinary Medicine and helped Crossland explore research connections between the university, Plum Island and the National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility.
