Continued Commitment to Aquatic Research By: Chris Obenschain, Aquatics Business
Director, Tecniplast USA
The use of aquatic animal models continues to grow in terms of viability, economy of resource, and public perception. Along with the talented researchers making headlines with their innovative approach to problem solving, it is the players behind the scenes driving this success. These players include Facility and Program Directors, Husbandry and Veterinary staffs, the dedicated equipment vendors, as well as respected industry publications such as ALNŽ Magazine. To all I thank you and wish you continued success.
Rodent Feeder Shield
This feeder shield eliminates the frustration and fatigue of screwing on metal lids. The metal shield protects a disposable plastic food container, and is virtually indestructible. The shields only need to be washed with the cage every two weeks and are stackable taking a 1/3 of the space of glass jars. The opening is the optimal width to reduce food spillage. Patent Pending.

Being the Bearer of Bad News
As a manager, there are many opportunities to share good news, recognize staff members for accomplishments, and to enjoy a few moments focusing on a job well-done. However, not all news is good news and unfortunately, delivering bad news is part of the job.
