Derek Dallas
Non-thesis M.S. Student
- Meat Science
My name is Derek Dallas. I am originally from southern Virginia, where I grew up in a small, rural town raising sheep. I earned my B.S. in Animal and Poultry Sciences in the spring of 2024, and my original plan was to attend vet school.
Following my undergrad, I became interested in swine research and physiology, which has led me to pursue a non-thesis M.S. in meat science under the guidance of Dr. Gerrard in the School of Animal Sciences, studying meat science.
