LAWTE Accepting Abstracts

The Laboratory Animal Welfare Training Exchange is now accepting abstracts for posters for the Bi-annual LAWTE meeting in Boston this August 8-10, 2007.

The presentation of a poster provides an alternative opportunity for presenting training ideas at the Laboratory Animal Welfare Training Exchange meeting.

The poster categories are

1. Training the Trainer - topics which provide ideas, suggestions, procedures, including experience, regarding making a "better" or "more effective" trainer.
2. Training Techniques - actual novel techniques used in specific training (in any area of laboratory animal science) including the use of alternatives (previous historical / published examples include the use of the Koken rat).
3. Training Management - topics surrounding novel ideas for documenting and record keeping various aspects of the training program, training, database collection, databases, etc.

Authors will be expected to be present to discuss their posters during the LRC event on August 9th, times to be listed in the LAWTE Meeting official program. Detailed poster submission and construction instructions will be available on the LAWTE website. Winning poster contestants will receive a monetary award.
