We science. We advocate. So others can science too. We get hate mail sometimes. This just makes us more determined to change policies in science labs & in the science community to be more inclusive. Change is happening. Equal access to education. #Science #dogs #DisabledInSTEM

Twice a week - tested! Mom - No virus detected ✅ I think my floof cheers up people who work here. One person today said, “Sampson is here! It is the Best! Day! Ever!” They are even talking my language! I’m just bringing the happy! #COVID19 #testing #science #dog #StaySafe

Ran into the co-author on several of our "Service Dogs (SD) in Science" published & upcoming #science journal articles. We couldn't ask for a better co-author. He's a scientist passionate about equal access & believes in safe SD access to science labs. @coltan_parker #Dog #STEM

Sunday morning quiet time. I listen to her talk about her dreams and hopes. She sparkles, laughs, and talks about adventures we will take. #Sunday mornings are where her dreams come alive, she speaks them out loud, this is where they become possibilities. In the quiet times. #Dog

Sky ice wind did not reach enough speed to generate the lift needed to overcome the force of my weight. Caused double kaboom ears tho! Science says I need more treatos to keep this doggo grounded! #science #dogs #DontFly

Service dog tasking, accessibility, and inaccessiblity all in 30 seconds! The ADA doesn’t require automatic doors for accessibility but installed auto doors don’t always work & are harder & heavier to open when not working. This presents a barrier #Science #dog #accessible

You can hear the door try to engage when I touch the activation bar at the second door, but it does not open.

We sprung Sydney! Her condition is holding steady so no changes in meds, etc., for another month. Holding steady with meningomyelitis is a good thing! Every day is a gift. ❤️ #Sister #dog #love #HappyFriday #IrishWolfhound #puppy
