Thanks for the link, Craig. I didn't know it had published.
I had the opportunity to collaborate with Kathrine Brafford and Isabel Rutten at Davis to determine how best to safely accommodate their dogs in lab. I was pleased to be able to support them in their work and their advocacy for inclusion.

Colleagues,
This complicated issue has been raised before on this listserve, so here is a recent article.

Despite rising numbers, many universities remain unprepared for the presence of assistance dogs on campus. Institutional policies often do not mention bringing dogs into lab spaces, for example.
