Nice write-up by @faunalytics of insightful study by
@LexisHLy and @dr_prot of how varied & inconsistent shelter intake data can be. Dovetails with @sacanimaldata data, highlighting need for internal & external standardization.

Our new study is now published (open access thanks to @ASPCA)! Thank you to everyone who shared and participated in the survey :)
Data collected at animal shelter intake is used to research populations and inform management practices. But is this data consistent? @LexisHLy & @dr_prot found low agreement in data input across shelter staff in a new study. Read here: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…

AWP students @LexisHLy @Russell_E_R and Julia Lee presented a workshop for secondary school teachers on Monday with the Vancouver School Board. The teachers learned how they can bring animal welfare back to their own classrooms. Thanks for having us @VSB39! #ubcAWPdairy
Chloe is such a thoughtful researcher! Her initiative throughout her thesis has been so amazing. If anybody is looking for a grad student in public health come 2024 - here she is!
Meet Chloe Chambers, a 4th yr student in Honours Applied Animal Biology with a Minor in French. In her second year she had the opportunity to work with Bailey Eagan investigating shelter cat welfare at the BC SPCA. Read Chloe's full undergrad profile: awp.landfood.ubc.ca/people/u…

Please share this survey with your network! We are hoping to learn more about this under-researched area: barriers to accessing veterinary care for people who use drugs
AWP researchers are recruiting participants for a survey on the stigmas faced by people who use drugs when seeking veterinary care in accidental pet poisoning. Access the survey here: ubc.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/fo…
Come hangout with me and some amazing like-minded shelter/data/tech folks to discuss my new paper on self-rehoming! Tomorrow!
