Memo: Animal Science Center Update on COVID-19, 3/23

Dear Researcher,

As stated in the March 23 message from the Office of the Provost, the Animal Science Center is asking all BU Investigators and Research Labs to end all non-critical work involving animals.

ASC will be operating only to provide basic animal husbandry and veterinary oversight (feed, water, cage change, enrichment provision, wean/separation, veterinary care where appropriate) to our animals. We will also continue basic colony maintenance tasks as long as they are feasible for our staff (tailing, identification).

If you have projects where the requirements match the guidelines as stated by the Office of the Provost, please make sure to fill out this form. ASC will not be able to take on any additional tasks beyond basic care and colony maintenance. We understand this is a very difficult time for everyone and we appreciate your assistance and support.

Sincerely,

Rao Varada
Director, ASCThe Animal Science Center manages and oversees animal-relate...
