Betty sits helpfully in the middle of the action. |
Today’s post is brought to
you by Betty, a stunning Burmese who loves hanging out in her mum’s sewing room
(having visited myself, I can attest that it’s a delightful living space).
If you’re putting together
your continuing education plan for next year, the Australian Small AnimalVeterinary Association has released its program of webinars. This year’s series
were excellent and 2014 promises great topics. See the program here. They're free for ASAVA members, and in my view the webinars alone are worth joining for.

For those with strong
stomachs, Dr Scott Weese posted this thoughtful piece about a very disgusting
dilemma involving a cat and a very queasy lady with bad aim. Read on here.
And Betty makes use of them! A lot. |
Here at SAT we are big into science-themed fashion. Especially if we can purchase it online in betwixt writing science-themed blogposts.
If you are seeking a gift
for the chemistry-oriented in your life, check out these stunning chemical
formula necklaces. Somewhat intriguingly, they are themed around illicit drugs
and reproductive hormones, a teratogenic combination. Have a look here.
Thanks Betty! |
