As a person who works with animals, your job is one of the most important in biomedical research.
Veterinarians, researchers, and the animals themselves rely on you to notice changes and help ensure the well-being of the animals in your care.
Recognizing clinical or behavioral signs of illness or stress is not only a welfare issue, but a scientific one, as some of these conditions have the potential to disrupt research projects.
