Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow?!?!

If you are like me, you are wondering if the snow will ever end and where it will go!  At first it was pretty!  Then you thought it was a nice vacation, but now it is just frustrating!  There is hope for your winter doldrums!  Think summer! Think the beach! Think  Atlantic City! Think outlets! Think TriBranch!  What better way to do that then to write your abstract for a poster or presentation? So find your favorite blanket, open a bottle of wine, and write your abstract today!  It will soon be over!  See you in June!

What's Your Diagnosis?

Back by popular demand, the What’s Your Diagnosis session will run again this year at our next Tri-Branch Conference! 

Similar to the ever popular event held each year at the National AALAS Conference, participants will have the opportunity to showcase their problem solving and presentations skills.

Like last year, we are seeking volunteers to present clinical and husbandry/facility management cases in an interactive format.

Presenters will describe the presenting complaint, and discuss with the audience the diagnostics or methods used to identify, and solve or manage the problem.  Audience participation will be encouraged.

Abstracts need to be submitted to Rodolfo Ricart (ricartar@mskcc.org) before March 30^th 2014. 

Animal care technicians, facility managers, research technicians and veterinary residents are strongly encouraged to submit abstracts. 

Accepted presenters will be granted free registration to the conference.
