National Institutes of Health

Description:

Michigan State University attending veterinarian Dr. Claire Hankenson delivers a talk entitled "National Institutes of Health: rigor and responsibility." J.R. Haywood, MSU Assistant Vice President for Regulatory Affairs, convenes the session, introduces the topic, and presents a slideshow to provide background. Hankenson explains how experimental animals are obtained, considerations for getting the animals acclimated to their new environment, and the numerous variables of temperature, animals per cage, nutrition, and others which may affect the results of experiments. She explains that some studies have shown deodorant, aftershave, and even human male pheromones may affect experiment outcomes. Hankenson and Haywood respond to questions.
