|March 25, 2018
Summary
Veterinary leaders discuss the ongoing recruitment crisis, with one CEO criticizing regulatory bodies. This piece offers responses from the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons and the British Veterinary Association to these criticisms.
Area of Science:
- Veterinary medicine
- Animal health workforce
- Professional regulation
Background:
- A recent interview highlighted concerns about veterinary recruitment challenges.
- The chief executive of CVS criticized regulatory bodies for inaction on the crisis.
- This prompted a response from key veterinary organizations.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present responses from the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) and the British Veterinary Association (BVA).
- To address criticisms regarding the handling of the veterinary recruitment crisis.
Main Methods:
- Analysis of statements and responses from veterinary professional bodies.
- Review of criticisms published in Vet Record.
Main Results:
- The RCVS and BVA provide their perspectives on the veterinary recruitment crisis.
- Organizations outline their strategies and challenges in addressing recruitment.
Conclusions:
- The veterinary sector faces significant recruitment challenges requiring collaborative solutions.
- Ongoing dialogue between industry leaders and regulatory bodies is crucial for addressing workforce issues.

02:16Surveys

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

11.2K
Translesion (TLS) polymerases rescue stalled DNA polymerases at sites of damaged bases by replacing the replicative polymerase and installing a nucleotide across the damaged site. Doing so, TLS allows additional time for the cell to repair the damage before resuming regular DNA replication.
TLS polymerases are found in all three domains of life - archaea, bacteria, and eukaryotes. Of the different classes of TLS polymerases, members of the Y family are fitted with specialized structures that...

02:20Milgram's Obedience to Authority
7.4K
Obedience to authority is classically demonstrated in a more famous series of social psychology experiments performed by Stanley Milgram. He was a social psychology professor at Yale who was influenced by the trial of Adolf Eichmann, a Nazi war criminal. Eichmann’s defense for the atrocities he committed was that he was “just following orders.”

02:35Transcription Elongation Factors
14.1K
Transcription elongation is a dynamic process that alters depending upon the sequence heterogeneity of the DNA being transcribed. Hence, it is not surprising that the elongation complex's composition also varies along the way while transcribing a gene.
The transcription elongation is regulated via pausing of RNA polymerase on several occasions during transcription. In bacteria, these halts are necessary because the transcription of DNA into mRNA is coupled to the translation of that mRNA...

01:50Statistical Significance
22.2K
Once data is collected from both the experimental and the control groups, a statistical analysis is conducted to find out if there are meaningful differences between the two groups. A statistical analysis determines how likely any difference found is due to chance (and thus not meaningful). In psychology, group differences are considered meaningful, or significant, if the odds that these differences occurred by chance alone are 5 percent or less. Stated another way, if we repeated this...
