Dr. Alexandra Protopopova, Dr. Nathan Hall (Texas Tech) and Dr. Jessica Hekman (University of Illinois) will talk about their current project correlating behavior, physiologic measurements of stress, and respiratory disease in shelter dogs. They will talk specifically about their methods – how exactly do you measure behavior, stress, and respiratory disease (three fuzzy concepts) for a scientific paper? They will leave time for questions, so come ready to talk about current trends in dog research!
