2022 International Farm Animal Welfare Fellowship
Applications have officially opened for the 2022 International Farm Animal Welfare Fellowship!
Our fellowship includes a curated 3 months online program from May to August 2022, followed by continued community support. We hope to unite and support individuals with a shared passion for improving the welfare of farm animals in China. We believe that a multidisciplinary approach is needed to achieve this, and therefore welcome and encourage individuals with diverse backgrounds and approaches to apply.

Looking for a MSc Student Interested in Mental Health and One Welfare to Apply ASAP // For Senior Undergrads
Hi folks,
I’m looking for a domestic student to apply for a Mitacs/Mental Health Research Canada internship and MSc looking at dairy and beef farmer mental health (and how it relates to cattle health and welfare).
If you know of any keen students, could you please let them know or let me know? They would need to apply to the university today (or early next week) but I have the Mitacs/MHRC application almost complete.
Thanks so much,
Meagan
