About
Dig Deep is an extended conversation with researchers from K-State Research and Extension. In each episode, host Randall Kowalik talks with a different scientist about their background, their work, and more. What spurred that curiosity? What motivates them to keep digging? Better yet, what else do they enjoy? Cycling? Hunting and fishing? Baton twirling? Teaching yoga to pigs? You just never know! Send comments, questions or requests for copies of past programs to ksrenews@ksu.edu. K‑State Research and Extension is a short name for the Kansas State University Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, a program designed to generate and distribute useful knowledge for the well‑being of Kansans. Supported by county, state, federal and private funds, the program has county Extension offices, experiment fields, area Extension offices and regional research centers statewide. Its headquarters is on the K‑State campus in Manhattan.
