Interview with Dr. Paul Siegel
description:
In this interview, Dr. Ann Dunnington has a conversation with Dr. Paul Siegel about his career as a poultry geneticist. Distinguished Professor Siegel describes the beginning of his interest in genetics asa kid on the [family] farm in New England, where he was intrigued by the variation he observed among tobacco plants and chickens, his training at the University of Connecticut and Kansas State University, followed by his lifelong career at Virginia Tech. Professor Siegel describes himself as an experimentalist, whose main interest is in the interrelationships between natural and artificial selection, and how resources are allocated to various physiological functions. He summarizes his experiments with body weight and antibody lines of chickens, where he explores both direct and correlated responses to long-term selection.
