What's CELL been up to?
Last weekend (September 21 and 22), our group took off for a two day trip
to West Iceland. On Friday we visited the Agricultural University and learned about their commitment to organic farming and the "happy cow" research they are doing. Basically, what they are finding is that when they leave baby cows in the fields with their mothers for longer periods of time (before separating them), they are seeing growth rates that are substantially more than the young cows that have been separated from the mothers and placed in feedlot pens.

We finished the weekend with a visit to the Viking Settlement Center at Borganes and then stopped in Reykjavik for delicious vegetarian dinner.
Below is a poem written by Sara Domek, a CELL student from Wyoming.
Silty Aurora
The silt-thick rivers,
swift from the glaciers above
swirl together at sacred river junctions
where the soft-white swans play in the shifting eddy
and two black ravens fly above.

Blue Green White
come here to wash one another in thier light,
to carry a piece of the mountains to the sea together.
Stretching out and arcing at oxbow bends,
the soft-turquois ripples marking the journey.
Reflections dance wildly and echo silently across the night sky,
Blue Green White.
Darkness is drawn out,
illuminated clouds of the night glow silty.
An oxbow riverbend of light spreads out,
slivers of White dash out to meet the Green and Blue.
Joined together, the sky settles,
darkness fades back and the colors return to the river.
