And great to present some prior @AnimalResNexus work myself this afternoon: “Exploring entanglements and assumptions at the intersection of animal research and patient involvement in dementia” #MultiSpeciesDementia
Fantastic morning at the “Dementia in a multi species world” conference, with great presentations from @jocey_quinn & @CSCBellet on the opening theme of ‘thinking beyond the human’
Excited to get my copy of 'Researching Animal Research' that brings together the important work of @AnimalResNexus on what the humanities & social sciences can contribute to lab animal welfare. Very privileged to be involved in 2 chapters of this impactful book.
