Thank goodness. Let’s hope it stays this way. Fire warnings were getting too close for comfort.
All pre-evacuation orders for the Arvada area to include Highway 93 to Alkire St, from 96th Ave south to 82nd Ave, have been LIFTED for the time being. Please remain prepared should conditions change. There are NO pre-evacuation orders in Arvada at this point.

Excited to be featured on @TheLabRatChat where I spend quite a while chatting about my career path, what I do now, and rat tickling!.

Had a lot of fun talking @MSMRorg last week with some amazing colleagues about refining mouse handling, replacing sentinel rodents, and @NA3RsC generally.
@meg_laughalot, NA3RsC's Program Manager, is explaining who we are and what we do for the 3Rs, including our work on refinement, rodent health monitoring, microphysiological systems, and translational digital biomarkers.

If you're familiar with your institution's rodent health monitoring strategies, please take my survey to help make a difference in the field. I'm excited to participate in this effort to benchmark practices, attitudes, and barriers related to #3Rs practices.
Are you familiar with your institution’s rodent health monitoring strategies? Researchers at NA3RsC & UWashington invite you to participate in a 10min survey yearly for 3 years. There is a prize drawing for $25. Survey closes 4/24. TAKE THE SURVEY!
