I really enjoyed reading this article from a PhD/DVM student in our lab at AU, where I’m a visiting scholar! I’ve appreciated working with Eli and Christine, gaining insights into veterinary medicine, animal diagnoses, and related biomarkers. It’s also fantastic to share a passion for biodiversity!
