Hello we're the animal behaviour and welfare team
and we're really delighted that you'll be spending
the next five weeks with us whilst we understand
a little bit more about animal behaviour and
welfare and applications of science in the real world.
And I'd like to introduce you to the team
that you'll be working with over the next five weeks.
So I'll start with me.
I'm Professor Nat Warren, and I'm the Director of the
Jeanne Marchig Animal Welfare Centre at the University of Edinburgh.
Hi everyone, my name's Heather and I'm a veterinary surgeon, here
at the University of Edinburgh's Jeanne
Marchig International Centre for Animal Welfare Education.
Most of my work is focused overseas where I work in developing countries,
primarily Asia but also Eastern Europe and Africa.
We are very fortunate to be able to have a wealth
of experience from around the world to contribute to some of
the educational resources that we've developed here at Edinburgh and I
hope that you find those useful as we go through the course.
I'll be seeing you in week five where we'll be talking
about the welfare of wild animals kept under human care in captivity.
My name is Dr Fritha Langford and I'm the Program Director of our online
Masters program in International Animal Welfare Ethics
and Law here at the University of Edinburgh.
I'm also a researcher in animal welfare science at Scotland's Rural College.
And in my week which is farm animal welfare myself and my
colleagues will be helping you understand about animal welfare on the farm.
Hello, my name is Hayley and I'm the welfare and anesthesia
veterinary nurse at the Royal Dick
school of Veterinary Studies here in Edinburgh.
I divide my time between anesthesia in the hospital for small animals and also
teaching overseas in developing countries for the
Jeanne Marchig International Centre for Animal Welfare Education.
I will be with you for the companion animal welfare chapter,
where we'll be looking at the welfare problems facing our pet cats and
dogs, and also shelter cats and dogs, and street or stray cats and dogs.
My name is Dr Jill Mackay and I also work for Scotland's Royal College
where I am an animal behaviour and welfare researcher.
