The Month in Pictures
The Institutional Animal Care Program celebrated Tech Week from January 30th- February 3rd. This week-long event is organized by the American Association for Laboratory Animal Science (AALAS) and the IACP office took the time to make sure all of the Animal Care Technicians at the service centers were celebrated! The techs walked in Monday to office decorations and a poster recognizing their contributions to research at UNL. We brought in lunch and had a scavenger hunt Bingo to try and find as many animals as they could on their Bingo cards. Winners got to pick from the prize box. Special thanks to Lisa Maupin for providing our blackout prizes. Thanks again to all of our technicians and student workers- we would be lost without you!
