Sage Journals: Discover world-class research

Abstract

Animal Bytes examines biosafety challenges posed when conducting work with animals and provides solutions that promote both safe and responsible research. Good safety and animal husbandry are essential for good science. Learn about best practices when working with animals and applied safety information that can be used every day. Please e-mail your comments, questions, and insights to Barbara Johnson at barbara_johnson@verizon.net.
