Looking for NCABer’s in Action
Request for Laboratory Animal Worker Photos
We are requesting pictures of Laboratory animal workers performing their duties. In particular, we are interested in photos of:
- Cage wash team
- Animal technicians
- Veterinarians
- Facility managers
Our goal is to develop a slide show of our organization members doing their job. Please try to avoid pictures of specific animals and any employer identifiers. We want to see smiling faces and demonstrations of team work. These pictures will be used at the NCAB seminar this fall.
DEAD LINE for submission: August 17, 2009
Please send your electronic pictures to Craig Mayer at mayerc@usa.redcross.org
