WABR was founded a decade ago to educate the public on the value of biomedical research for the health of both humans and animals. The past ten years have been a magnificent implementation of that goal.
Biomedical research is a commitment to life.
Much remains to be done. A rchive Featured Teacher - Pat Lisoskie Biomedical Research Day meant an opportunity to creative teacher, Pat Lisoskie. This day provided a chance to engage her students in the wonders of science by introducing them to a patient whose life has been transformed and saved by biomedical research. Patty Wood, two-time kidney transplant recipient and member of the WABR Speakers' bureau, visited Lisoskie's class. Wood explained that Lisoskie has listened and learned to educate herself about the difference between animal rights and animal welfare, and is now asking her students to explore the same challenging topic.
