Facilitating international animal research programs

摘要

I read an article about veterinarian Dr. Don B. Olsen's role in supervising the experimental use of calves during development of the Jarvik-7 artificial heart, which was the first successful bridge to heart transplant when it was implanted into Barney Clark in 1985.1 thought, "What a wonderful role for a veterinarian: to help save human lives while providing humane care to animals." I wished I could make that kind of a significant contribution myself.
