Working together… or just in close proximity of one another?
As an earlier post has mentioned, this week has revolved around animal welfare – which has included not only individual projects where we must formulate our own opinions, but also group assignments where we’ve created in-depth scenarios to fill in and evaluate applications to ethical committees – which we both presented and defended our application to a board consisting of 3 people to represent politicians, lawyers and representatives from organisations working with the ethical treatment of animals. Subsequently, we also commented on another groups work. Practice makes perfect!
My group worked with the greysided vole, which in Sweden has been in stark decline since the 1970’s – which has been connected to habitat fragmentation. But the real question is: did my groups work stand up to the trial by our peers?
The quest for the answer goes on……!
