In this encore presentation of our August 2022 podcast episode, we celebrate National Dog Day (August 26th) with some canine citizen science. Scientists would like to learn about dog personalities and genetics; what traits help them perform well as service animals; and how environmental factors could affect their health. If you have a canine companion, you have the perfect lab partner! Projects featured in the podcast include: C-BARQ Darwin's Ark Also, check out this study from Darwin's Ark, published in the journal Science, based on data provided by citizen scientists! https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abk0639
