Frank Dunshea, Ph.D.
The International Lectureship Award
Sponsored by PIC
The International Award was established in 1992 to honor an
individual for internationally recognized contributions to the field of
meat science and technology and active leadership and promotion of
international activities in fostering cooperation and open
communication, and the dissemination of knowledge for the benefit of
society through meat science and technology. In 2009, the award was
renamed the International Lectureship Award and features an opportunity
for the recipient to share his/her expertise with the AMSA membership.
Frank Dunshea, Ph.D.
International Lectureship
“I feel that my greatest contribution has been in connecting how animals grow, eat and respond to stress with the quality of meat they produce. My work has helped the field better understand the biology behind carcass traits and animal performance in a practical and pragmatic manner.”
