Animal
scientist Stan Curtis and graduate student Candace Croney have embarked
on a unique research project that uses video games to gauge the mental
abilities of pigs (see In A Pig's Eye Fall
1996/Winter 1997). The project captured the attention of documentary
filmmakers from the BBC. A crew from the British television network
visited the Agricultural Sciences and Industries Building on the University
Park campus in February and April to tape segments for a documentary
on the work. The program, QED: Move Over, Babe!, aired in Great
Britain this summer and is expected to be televised in the United States
soon. Watch for it!
