Thanks for the link, Craig. I didn't know it had published.

I had the opportunity to collaborate with Kathrine Brafford and Isabel Rutten at Davis to determine how best to safely accommodate their dogs in lab. I was pleased to be able to support them in their work and their advocacy for inclusion.
