Dana Palmer
Senior Extension Associate, Animal Science
By offering relevant, real-world opportunities for school-aged youth to experience the many disciplines involved in caring for domestic and captive animals, I strive to engage learners in teachable moments that will inspire them to pursue higher education or careers involving companion animals or livestock species.

Field Note
Cornell Cooperative Extension (CCE) and the New York State 4-H Youth Development program recently held Animal Crackers, a full-day interactive event for students aged eight and up with interest in animal science. This year’s event happened on May 7th and marked the first year of returning to entirely in-person programming. Dana Palmer, Senior Extension Associate of Cornell’s 4-H Youth Extension, reflects on this year’s successes.
