Please join the NCAB community for our July General Body Meeting where our topic will be:
Speaker: Carrie Silver, Facility Manager at Walter Reed Army Institute of Research.
About our presenter: Carrie Silver has degrees from Michigan State University and the University of Maryland in Veterinary Technology and Animal Science respectively. She holds numerous AALAS certifications including LATg and CMAR. After a year of private practice, Carrie joined the animal science world in 1999 and hasn’t looked back since.
Carrie was with Georgetown University for 14 years, briefly at the NIH in Bldg. 49, a trainer for the Division of Veterinary Resources at the NIH and is now a facility manager at Walter Reed Army Institute of Research. She has worked on studies involving rodents, bats, cats, rabbits, dogs, swine, and nonhuman primates, with a focus on neuroscience investigations. Some of the duties included expressing the bladders of rats, breeding and maintaining a transgenic mouse colony, providing anesthesia support for all species, chair training nonhuman primates, physicals, blood collection, etc.
As a facility manager at Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, the first challenge encountered led to the reason for today’s talk – rodents grinding down their feed and leaving the food waste in the bottom of their cages for no apparent reason.
Please join us in another virtual meeting. There will be door prizes for attendees!!
