AALAS National Meeting in Kansas City Oct 17–Oct 21.  Each fall since 1950, the American Association for Laboratory Animal Science has held its annual National Meeting. During the five days of the meeting, members and nonmembers come together to enjoy the workshops, lectures, poster sessions, and exhibits. The program is designed to have topics relevant to the entire membership. Exhibitors have an opportunity to interact with AALAS members from the academic community, research institutions, government organizations, and commercial companies. The AALAS National Meeting is the largest gathering in the world of professionals concerned with the production, care, and use of laboratory animals.

As a researcher who utilizes animals in their studies or one of the many people who provide laboratory animals with unparalleled care and enrichment, it’s very important to know those groups and organizations that support you and all the invaluable work you do!
