Biometrics and Recovery
| March 11, 2014 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
I’m taking an intermission before starting in on the last seminar topics since they are more detailed and require more mental energy for me to put together.

Seminar Report – Heat Stress
| March 10, 2014 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
Seminar was presented by nutritionist Marty Adams from Triple crown feeds.

I had never heard about imposter syndrome until I got to vet school. Apparently it’s REALLY common among vet students (and when you first graduate and beyond). Its a feeling that you aren’t really good enough to be there. That any moment someone is going to find out you are a totally fraud, de-mask you […] more
