With generous support from the Animal Welfare Foundation of Canada the 2019 Stratton Lecuture featured a panel of speakers discussing future directions in the field with researchers in laboratory, companion, and farm animal welfare. The lecture featured Dr. Joanna Makowska, Dr. Diego Moya, and Dr. Charlotte Winder.
The full 2-hour lecture is available online, and the audio for individual presentations are available below.
