On February 20, Maya Meesters will publicly defend her PhD entitled: Small beginnings, lasting effects: The role of prenatal environment on dairy heifer performance. In the context of this public defense, we will welcome professor Claire Wathes, emeritus prof at the Royal Veterinary College (London, UK) at our department.
