On June 14, meat scientists across the country will begin gathering in Lincoln, Neb., for the American Meat Science Association’s (AMSA) 68th Reciprocal Meat Conference (RMC). This year’s RMC is co-hosted by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and ConAgra Foods. The event has grown considerably since the first RMC held in 1948, which saw 46 attendees, to the more than 800 that participate in RMC today. These individuals represent all facets of the meat industry from academia, government and industry as well as undergraduate and graduate students.
“The AMSA’s 68th RMC is unique in that it has all the education and technical programming that you’d want, along with the social environment to let you catch up with old friends and colleagues,” says Brad Morgan, Ph.D., AMSA president and senior director of protein at Performance Food Group.
