We also have several links to groups of projects that focus on topics in the news. The MAES has several publications that feature information on research projects. Futures is a quarterly magazine, written for people with no scientific background. The language is non-technical and each issue is organized around a broad issue such as food safety, natural resources or animal health. Research projects and their importance to the people of Michigan are featured.
Messenger is a monthly four-page newsletter, written for MAES scientists.
Research reports are written by MAES scientists and are technical discussions of research projects. They may be somewhat complex for those with casual interest but are invaluable for other researchers, commodity groups, government agencies and producers. Much MAES research is conducted at the 16 field research stations around the state. Many of these stations have individual Web sites that contain information on research projects. The field research stations are also open to the public for tours and host educational seminars on specific research projects throughout the year.
