Dog Days of Science

In this podcast episode, we celebrate National Dog Day (August 26th) with some canine citizen science. Scientists would like to learn about dog personalities and genetics; what traits help them perform well as service animals; and how environmental factors could affect their health. If you have a canine companion, you have the perfect lab partner! Projects featured in the podcast include: C-BARQ https://scistarter.org/c-barq-and-fe-barq Darwin's Ark https://scistarter.org/darwins-ark Also, check out this study from Darwin's Ark, published in the journal Science, based on data provided by citizen scientists! https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abk0639
