Here's a breakdown of the key highlights and takeaways:

Hello Witches The Buck Moon rises at the height of summer when the forests and fields are alive with abundance and the stag carries his newly grown antlers. In this month's Full Moon episode we are exploring the deeper symbolism of the Buck Moon and what this powerful lunar phase invites us to reflect upon. Together we will journey through its folklore, mythology and spiritual meaning discovering why the stag has become such a powerful symbol of renewal, resilience and personal sovereignty. We will also explore the deities and spirits traditionally connected to this moon including Cernunnos, Herne the Hunter, Pan, Artemis, Diana and the mythical Norse stag Eikthyrnir whose antlers were said to nourish the rivers of the world. We will touch upon the earth spirits and fae associated with this season and consider how the natural world mirrors our own inner cycles of growth. I hope this episode encourages you to honour how far you have already come, celebrate your own becoming and remember that just like the stag, your greatest strength often grows quietly before the world ever sees it.

The wheat cannot become bread while it remains standing in the field, the fruit must be picked before it begins to nourish. Every harvest asks us to release one form so that another may emerge. Lammas reminds us that growth is not only about planting new seeds but is also about recognising what has fulfilled its purpose and having the courage to let it go. Together we will explore what we have cultivated over the past year, celebrate the blessings already ripening in our lives and gently ask ourselves what we are ready to release so that something even more meaningful can flourish. As the Wheel of the Year begins its slow turn towards autumn, Lammas invites us to pause before the rush of the coming seasons. It asks us to acknowledge how far we have come, gather the wisdom we have earned and consciously choose what we wish to carry forward.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Ashley M. Fox. Summary of the Interview In this episode of Money Making Conversations Masterclass, Rushion McDonald interviews Ashley M. Fox—former Wall Street analyst, Howard University alum, financial educator, and founder/CEO of Emplify, a fintech platform focused on making wealth‑building accessible to everyday people. Ashley shares her journey from working with ultra‑high‑net‑worth clients on Wall Street to becoming an entrepreneur determined to bring financial education and empowerment to communities traditionally excluded from wealth conversations. She discusses the creation of Amplify, her financial fall and recovery, her work in schools and prison systems, and how digital content has allowed her to scale her mission globally. The discussion emphasizes mindset, self‑belief, access, and a practical path to wealth, even starting with as little as $20. Purpose of the Interview The interview aims to: 1. Inspire financial empowerment Ashley explains how anyone—regardless of background or starting point—can begin building wealth and shift generational outcomes. 2. Demystify investing and wealth-building She breaks down how simple investing can be, the power of small consistent contributions, and how wealth isn’t limited to entrepreneurs or high earners. 3. Highlight her fintech platform Emplify She shares how Amplify democratizes financial education through online tools, community, and accessible investing classes. 4. Encourage a mindset shift Ashley stresses the importance of eliminating fear, building confidence, and using logic instead of emotion when making financial decisions. Key Takeaways 1. Wealth Begins with Belief and Mindset Ashley learned on Wall Street that the biggest difference between wealthy and non-wealthy people is not education—it's self-belief. Many people don’t believe wealth is possible for them because they've never seen it. 2. You Don’t Need a Lot of Money to Start Investing She urges people to start with $20, even buying fractional shares. It’s consistency—not starting amount—that builds wealth. 3. You Can Invest in Others’ Ideas—Not Just Your Own Building wealth doesn’t require launching a business. Buying stock is one of the easiest ways to participate in wealth creation. 4. Ashley’s Own Journey Included Failure After leaving Wall Street, she was evicted, slept on her parents’ couch for two years, and maxed out credit cards. Her purpose kept her going. 5. Financial Education Should Start Early She developed financial education programs for schools, prison systems, and everyday families because adults often learn too late. 6. Emplify Scales Wealth Education Her platform offers 300+ hours of videos and tools, helping members open 3,000+ investment accounts and invest $7.4M collectively. 7. Social Media Is Her Biggest Access Point Ashley reaches millions by being authentic, relatable, and consistent—meeting people where they are. 8. You Must Pay Yourself First Most people pay bills, companies, and creditors before investing in themselves. She emphasizes reversing that pattern. 9. Logic Over Emotion Wealth requires logical decision‑making, especially in the market. Emotional reactions undermine long-term financial growth. Notable Quotes (Taken From the Transcript) On Wealth Mindset “When you think and know and believe you have the power to create wealth and you deserve wealth, you move a different way.” “There is no president that can build the wealth that you can create for your family.” On Starting Small “You don't have to have a lot of money to start. You just have to have the will to begin.” “A whole lot of $20 can get you to a million—as long as you don’t stop.” On Investing “Consider the companies you give your money to and own them, because they are a lot cheaper than you think.” “If I’m helping you build a billion‑dollar business by using your products, I deserve a piece of the pie.” On Self-Reliance “You pay everybody… the bartender, the mortgage company—and you’re the one without money. Who’s going to worry about you?” On Purpose and Identity “My story never changed. The mission was always dedicated to the people I didn’t see coming into that building on Wall Street.” “Emplify is the movement. It just has my DNA.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

 EPISODE DESCRIPTION I sat down with Reid, co-founder of Ground, to explore what it actually takes to bring on-chain finance to institutions. Ground is building a non-custodial API platform, think Stripe, but for DeFi, so that banks, neobanks, and financial companies can access yield, lending, liquid staking, and real-world assets without rebuilding their entire stack. Reid shares his journey from Square to Stripe to Chime to founding Superstate and ultimately Ground. We dig into why large institutions move slowly, why the "just build it with AI" objection misses the point, and what the future looks like when blockchains are quietly powering the back end of your Robin Hood or JPMorgan account. DISCLAIMERNothing mentioned in this podcast is investment advice and please do your own research.

If you have ever felt fear in your body and then immediately made that fear mean something bad about you, this episode is for you. Vanessa explores fear not as something to conquer, transcend, or shame, but as something ancient, intelligent, protective, and deeply human. Through polyvagal theory, Buddhist psychology, the teaching of the first and second arrow, RAIN practice, and self-compassion, we look at what changes when we stop treating fear like the enemy. Healing is not becoming fearless; it is becoming less afraid of fear itself, so you can stay with yourself when it arrives.Reference Links:Stephen Porges — Polyvagal TheoryUse for: Polyvagal theory, autonomic regulation, and the nervous system's safety/danger responses.Link: https://www.stephenporges.com/Note: Stephen Porges developed polyvagal theory, which is referenced in the episode to explain why fear often arises before conscious thought can intervene.Polyvagal Institute — What Is Polyvagal Theory?Use for: Accessible overview of polyvagal theory and autonomic regulation.Link: https://www.polyvagalinstitute.org/whatispolyvagaltheoryNote: Helpful general explainer for producers/listeners who want a basic overview.Neuroception — Stephen Porges / Polyvagal TheoryUse for: Neuroception as the nervous system's subconscious detection of safety and threat.Link: https://www.stephenporges.com/Note: Use alongside Porges's work.

Let us know your thoughts, questions, and who you want to hear from next!In this episode of The Exchange, Ryan Loehr sits down with Perry Cross and Tom Ray, Co-Founders of Accessible Homes Australia, to explore one of the most overlooked corners of Australian social infrastructure, specialist disability accommodation. Perry sustained a spinal cord injury at 19 and spent decades in a system that wasn't built for him. Today he lives independently in a purpose-designed, voice-activated apartment on the Gold Coast. It's not just a better home. It's a different life. Together, Perry and Tom break down how their clustered independent living model can save the NDIS up to $75,000 per person per year compared to conventional care arrangements, a counterintuitive finding the system has been slow to embrace. They also walk through their newest development in Hervey Bay: a self-sufficient village with onsite hydrotherapy, adapted gymnasium, and 24-hour care, built for people who want independence, not an institution. If you've ever thought about impact investing, social infrastructure, or simply what it means to build something that matters, this episode is for you. Disclaimer: The information in this podcast series is for general financial educational purposes only, should not be considered financial advice and is only intended for wholesale clients.  That means the information does not consider your objectives, financial situation or needs.  You should consider if the information is appropriate for you and your needs.  You should always consult your trusted licensed professional adviser before making any investment decision.

En période de canicule, quelques minutes peuvent faire toute la différence. Ouvrir les fenêtres trop tard, alors que l'air extérieur s'est déjà réchauffé, revient parfois à inviter la chaleur chez soi. Pour aider les habitants à choisir le bon moment, une application gratuite baptisée NADIR indique quand aérer, puis quand tout refermer.Accessible depuis n'importe quel navigateur et également disponible sur iOS, l'outil demande d'abord quelques informations : la ville ou la position de l'utilisateur, la température mesurée dans le logement, l'inertie des murs, la puissance de la ventilation et l'orientation des façades. L'inertie désigne ici la capacité d'un bâtiment à conserver la fraîcheur ou, au contraire, la chaleur. Les occupants d'un appartement traversant peuvent renseigner deux orientations différentes afin d'affiner la simulation. NADIR associe ensuite ces données aux prévisions météorologiques heure par heure fournies par Open-Meteo. L'application simule l'évolution probable de la température intérieure pendant un peu plus de vingt-quatre heures. Elle affiche une recommandation immédiate, les horaires conseillés pour ouvrir et fermer, ainsi qu'un graphique comparant la température extérieure à celle estimée dans le logement.L'outil peut même déconseiller toute aération lorsque la nuit reste trop chaude. Il estime également le nombre de degrés susceptibles d'être gagnés au moment du pic de chaleur, en fonction de l'heure choisie, de l'inertie du bâtiment et de la ventilation disponible. Un second créneau d'ouverture peut être proposé, tandis qu'une humidité extérieure élevée peut rendre l'aération moins avantageuse. Les calculs sont effectués directement dans le navigateur. Seules les coordonnées nécessaires aux prévisions météorologiques sont transmises à Open-Meteo.NADIR a été développé par Solal Gendrin, un Villeurbannais de 28 ans, également conseiller écologiste à la Métropole de Lyon. Il avait déjà créé Lyon Pocket, consacré aux transports lyonnais, ainsi que TCL 2040 et OpenProjets. Comme ces précédents services, NADIR est gratuit, sans publicité, sans inscription et sans collecte de données personnelles. Ses résultats restent indicatifs : l'application ne connaît ni l'isolation exacte du logement ni la force réelle du vent. Elle affine néanmoins le conseil de l'ADEME : ouvrir quand l'air extérieur devient plus frais, puis refermer avant le retour de la chaleur. Hébergé par Acast.

Reggie Townsend: Making Responsible AI Irresistible Responsible AI has a design problem. Too often, it is treated as a compliance exercise, a policy document, or a late-stage control, when it should be the operating system that enables organizations to innovate with confidence. In this episode of Scouting for Growth, Sabine VanderLinden welcomes back Reggie Townsend, Vice President of AI Ethics, Governance and Social Impact at SAS, to explore one compelling idea: making responsible AI irresistible. Drawing on decades of experience helping enterprises embed trustworthy AI into their operations, Reggie explains why governance must evolve from abstract principles to practical systems people actually use. As organizations race to deploy generative and agentic AI, the conversation has shifted. Responsible AI is no longer just about avoiding harm—it is about creating the conditions for innovation, resilience, and long-term competitive advantage. Boards are asking tougher questions. Regulators are raising expectations. Employees increasingly need guidance they can apply in real-world decisions, not just policies they acknowledge once a year. This conversation is essential listening for CEOs, board directors, Chief Risk Officers, compliance leaders, AI product teams, and founders navigating the transition from responsible AI intentions to responsible AI execution.   KEY TAKEAWAYS One of the biggest insights I took from this conversation is that responsible AI is fundamentally a design challenge. We have spent years writing principles and policies, yet many organizations still struggle to translate those aspirations into everyday decisions. Reggie reminded me that if governance feels complicated, disconnected, or burdensome, people will naturally work around it. Our challenge as leaders is to make responsible behavior the easiest path rather than the hardest one. I was also struck by how governance is becoming inseparable from business strategy. As generative and agentic AI systems begin making increasingly autonomous decisions, governance can no longer be treated as a legal or compliance function operating at the edge of the organization. It has to become part of product design, procurement, operations, and executive decision-making. Trust is no longer something we communicate after deployment; it is something we engineer from the beginning. Another important theme was the preservation of human agency. While AI can dramatically enhance productivity and decision-making, Reggie reminds us that organizations must remain intentional about where humans stay accountable. The future is unlikely to be defined by replacing people with AI, but by designing systems where humans and intelligent machines complement one another in transparent and meaningful ways. However, perhaps my greatest takeaway is that responsible AI should become a competitive advantage rather than a regulatory obligation. Organizations that embed governance in their innovation will move with greater confidence because customers, regulators, employees, and investors will increasingly reward trust. Making responsible AI irresistible is ultimately about making good governance so practical, intuitive and valuable that people actively choose to adopt it—and that may prove to be one of the most important leadership capabilities of the next decade.   BEST MOMENTS "Responsible AI isn't about slowing innovation. It's about creating the confidence to innovate at scale." – Reggie Townsend "If responsible AI feels like extra work, we've designed it wrong. We have to make it irresistible." – Reggie Townsend "Governance shouldn't be something you visit once a year. It should be embedded into every decision, every workflow, and every system we build." – Reggie Townsend "The question isn't whether AI will make decisions. It's whether we've designed those decisions to preserve human agency." – Reggie Townsend "Trust isn't something you add after deployment. It's something you architect from the very beginning." – Reggie Townsend "We're moving from governing models to governing systems of intelligence—and that's an entirely different challenge." – Reggie Townsend "The organizations that thrive won't be the ones that adopt AI the fastest. They'll be the ones that build trust the fastest." – Reggie Townsend "Responsible AI is no longer just an ethics conversation. It's becoming a leadership conversation, an operational conversation, and ultimately a competitive advantage." – Sabine VanderLinden "As AI becomes more autonomous, our responsibility as leaders becomes even more intentional." – Sabine VanderLinden "The future belongs to organizations that can turn responsible AI from a policy into a practice." – Sabine VanderLinden   ABOUT THE GUEST Reggie Townsend is Vice President of AI Ethics, Governance and Social Impact at SAS, where he leads SAS' global AI Ethics, Governance and Social Impact organization. His remit includes the company's Data & AI Ethics Practice, AI & Society initiatives, AI Governance Advisory, Standards, Regulations & Risk Intelligence programs, and Accessible & Adaptive AI efforts. He drives SAS' work on trustworthy, human-centric innovation across products, policies, and partnerships.  Reggie is recognized as one of the clearest voices in responsible and trustworthy AI. He has served as a member of the White House National AI Advisory Committee, sits on the board of EqualAI, and works at the intersection of responsible innovation, enterprise governance, social impact, and emerging AI regulation. In this conversation, he explores how organizations can turn AI governance from a source of friction into a driver of adoption, accountability, and growth.    ABOUT THE HOST Sabine VanderLinden is a corporate strategist turned entrepreneur and the CEO of Alchemy Crew Ventures. She leads venture-client labs that help Fortune 500 companies adopt and scale cutting-edge technologies from global tech ventures.

We've all heard the buzz words lately of gut health, probiotics and whatever else is trending across social media these days. But a Louisiana husband and wife team has made it their mission through their brand Cultured Guru to educate the masses on fermented foods, its benefits and how it's extremely accessible and practical for Louisianians and our cooking. Kaitlynn Fenley is a microbiologist who, along with her husband Jon Scott Chachere, has taken her passion and they've transformed it into one of Louisiana's first commercial fermented food companies and now into a multimedia brand with online courses, recipes and so much more. This week, I chat with the duo about their company, the road it took to get here, why their commercial food company wasn't filling their cup like their passion for education and so much more.

When building a custom home, it is easy to spend money on upgrades that look impressive during the design process but provide very little value once you move in.In Episode 38 of Building With Breven, Steven and Mike break down 10 custom home upgrades that are worth every penny—and 10 that may waste your budget.They discuss practical upgrades such as wider garages, functional pantries, layered lighting, better windows, improved insulation, outdoor living infrastructure, accessible storage, and future-ready electrical planning.They also explain why homeowners should think carefully before spending heavily on oversized bedrooms, enormous kitchen islands, complicated smart-home systems, trendy permanent finishes, expensive decorative fixtures, and premium cosmetic selections that come at the expense of the home's core construction systems.The biggest takeaway: Spend first on the parts of your home that are difficult, expensive, or disruptive to change later. Cosmetic upgrades can often be replaced or added after you move in.IN THIS EPISODEUpgrades worth considering:• A wider and deeper garage• A functional pantry with outlets and counter space• Thoughtful electrical planning and future-ready wiring• Layered lighting and dimmers• Better windows and intentional natural light• Improved insulation, air sealing, and HVAC design• Accessible storage in practical locations• Outdoor living infrastructure and rough-ins• A well-designed laundry room• Whole-house surge protection and backup-power preparationUpgrades that may waste your budget:• An oversized primary bedroom• A massive bathtub that rarely gets used• Too many complicated smart-home systems• An enormous kitchen island• Too many highly specialized rooms• Excessive built-in cabinetry• Trendy finishes in permanent locations• Expensive decorative fixtures throughout the home• Too much glass without considering orientation• Premium finishes purchased at the expense of windows, HVAC, insulation, drainage, or waterproofingABOUT BUILDING WITH BREVENBuilding With Breven provides an inside look at custom homebuilding, design, construction, budgeting, and the decisions homeowners face when creating a one-of-a-kind home.Breven Homes builds thoughtfully designed custom homes for busy professionals throughout the Central Texas Hill Country.Planning a custom home in Central Texas?Contact Breven Homes to discuss your property, plans, budget, and goals. www.brevenhomes.com

Gene therapy has changed what is possible for people living with sickle cell disease. New treatments have shown that the condition can be successfully treated. But the therapy is costly and available to only a small number of patients. Millions of people around the world still rely on early diagnosis and preventative medicines, with access to basic care remaining a challenge in many places, including sub-Saharan Africa, which has almost 80% of global sickle cell cases. Are we closer to gene therapy for sickle cell disease being accessible?We speak to Dr Natasha Archer, director of the Sickle Cell Program at the Dana-Farber/Boston Children's Cancer and Blood Disorders Center, US; Dr Alexis Thompson, paediatric haematologist at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and a professor of paediatrics at the University of Pennsylvania, US; Dr Leon Tshilolo, professor of paediatrics and haematology at the University of Mbuji-Mayi, DR Congo and Prof Baba Inusa, consultant paediatrician in the School of Life Course & Population Sciences at King's College London, UK(Photo: Cell lines are prepared in a laboratory in Maryland, US.

Améliorer une photo floue sans installer de logiciel ni créer de compte : c'est la promesse de Vidmud, un outil en ligne reposant sur l'intelligence artificielle. Accessible gratuitement depuis un navigateur, son améliorateur permet de traiter jusqu'à six images simultanément, soit une par une, soit par lots.L'usage peut se révéler utile dans de nombreuses situations. Pendant un mariage, par exemple, une mise au point ratée ou un mouvement trop rapide suffit à rendre les visages moins nets. Il faut alors déposer les clichés sur la page dédiée de Vidmud, puis sélectionner l'option « Améliorer maintenant ». L'intelligence artificielle analyse l'image d'origine et tente de la reconstruire pixel par pixel pour accentuer les détails et réduire le flou. Le résultat peut ensuite être utilisé pour publier la photo sur les réseaux sociaux, l'envoyer à des proches ou simplement la conserver dans de meilleures conditions. L'intérêt est d'éviter le recours à un logiciel professionnel, souvent plus coûteux et plus complexe à maîtriser. Une version pour ordinateur est toutefois également proposée par Vidmud AI Studio sous Windows 10 et Windows 11.L'outil ne se limite pas aux photographies personnelles. Un commerçant en ligne peut, par exemple, améliorer l'image d'un bijou ou d'un produit afin de mieux le présenter. L'IA ajuste automatiquement différents paramètres, comme la balance des blancs, les couleurs, la luminosité ou la netteté, avec l'objectif d'obtenir un rendu plus homogène. Vidmud peut aussi servir à restaurer d'anciennes photos de famille, même lorsque leur résolution est faible. Le service annonce une amélioration pouvant atteindre une définition 8K. Il propose également de réduire le bruit numérique, ces petits grains visibles notamment sur les images prises de nuit.Plusieurs outils sont accessibles gratuitement et sans inscription : l'améliorateur d'image, l'éditeur photo avec suppression d'éléments, le créateur de photos d'identité ou encore l'éditeur vidéo. Les fonctions essentielles d'intelligence artificielle sont incluses. Vidmud propose par ailleurs une offre plus complète comprenant 1 500 crédits génératifs par an, davantage d'effets et de modèles, un éditeur vidéo plus puissant et une assistance technique disponible en permanence. Cette souscription bénéficie d'une garantie satisfait ou remboursé de trente jours. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

Adam Brown is back!General relativity is said to be the most beautiful idea the human mind has ever produced. Most of us will never get to fully appreciate its elegance by taking the 20-lecture graduate course Adam taught on it at Stanford. But in this episode, Adam distills the key idea at its heart so clearly and compellingly that even I could keep up lol.At the core of general relativity, Einstein is trying to figure out the principle behind a particular coincidence: that the mass that resists acceleration and the mass that gravity pulls on just happen to be exactly the same. Adam then leads us through the path of insight which Einstein called his “happiest thought.”Then Adam lectures on black holes. First, by showing how even under special relativity you could create a perpetual motion machine if black holes weren't truly black. And then, by explaining why the observations of an infalling observer and a distant bystander to the black hole would be so radically differentAdam leads Blueshift, the team at Google DeepMind cracking science and reasoning, which gave us the opportunity to discuss at the very end how close we are to AIs that could rediscover general relativity from scratch. Stay till the close for some philosophy of science.Watch on YouTube; read the transcript.Sponsors* Jane Street has traders from all sorts of different backgrounds. For example, I recently got to speak with Jed Thompson, a trader who started his career in particle physics. Jed told me how the habits he built as a physicist (like never running a calculation without first having a good guess at the answer) helped him build good trading intuition. So no matter what field you're working in right now, your experience may be more applicable than you think. Check out open positions at janestreet.com/dwarkesh* Crusoe gave me early access to their new serverless fine-tuning product, so I decided to try fine-tuning a Dwarkesh-style question generator. Crusoe made this really easy: I just turned my interview transcripts into training data and then kicked off a run – I never had to touch infra or tweak hyperparameters. After training was done, I ran a blind eval with my team: they preferred the fine-tuned model's proposed questions over my own suggestions about 30% of the time. Serverless fine-tuning goes live next week. Learn more at crusoe.ai/dwarkesh* Cursor's iOS app lets me kick off real work no matter where I am. For example, recently I was at dinner with friends when I had an idea about how to investigate the past few years of progress in sample efficiency.

Send us Fan MailA glow under blue light might be the difference between guessing and knowing where cancer has spread. We sit down with Drs. Elizabeth Maxwell and Veronica Perez to unpack a practical, low-cost approach to sentinel lymph node mapping in dogs using fluorescein sodium, a compound many veterinarians already recognize from everyday clinical use. Our focus stays on one big goal: expanding access to accurate cancer staging in veterinary oncology without requiring advanced imaging, specialized near-infrared camera systems, or a referral-only workflow. We walk through the real surgical details: intradermal injections around the tumor, quick massage for lymphatic uptake, then watching the lymphatic channels appear in real time with handheld lights and blue light filtering glasses. Elizabeth and Veronica share why simplicity matters for adoption in general practice, what they learned about black light versus blue light clarity, and why “I can see it with my eyes” can reduce friction in the operating room. Then we get into the stakes. In their pilot study of six client-owned dogs, the team identified at least one sentinel lymph node in every case, with rapid visualization after injection. Histopathology underscores the clinical value: metastatic mast cell disease showed up in sentinel nodes, including early nodal metastasis that palpation alone could miss, and even deeper second-tier nodes in some dogs. We also cover key limitations, including small sample size, qualitative assessment, and the need for head-to-head trials against standards like indocyanine green near-infrared fluorescence to define sensitivity, specificity, and false negative rates. If you care about affordable veterinary cancer care, better surgical decision making, and practical tools that can move beyond specialty centers, this conversation is for you. Subscribe, share with a colleague, and leave a rating or review on Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen, then tell us what would help you adopt sentinel lymph node mapping in your own clinic.JAVMA article: https://doi.org/10.2460/javma.25.11.0735INTERESTED IN SUBMITTING YOUR MANUSCRIPT TO JAVMA ®  OR AJVR ® ?JAVMA ® : https://avma.org/JAVMAAuthorsAJVR ® : https://avma.org/AJVRAuthorsFOLLOW US:JAVMA ® :Facebook: Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association - JAVMA | FacebookInstagram: JAVMA (@avma_javma) • Instagram photos and videosTwitter: JAVMA (@AVMAJAVMA) / Twitter AJVR ® : Facebook: American Journal of Veterinary Research - AJVR | FacebookInstagram: AJVR (@ajvroa) • Instagram photos and videosTwitter: AJVR (@AJVROA) / TwitterJAVMA ®  and AJVR ®  LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/company/avma-journals
