“Although other groups in our department do work with animals, we are the only ones that access or have the opportunity to actually physically do hands-on work with them…This puts you at a huge advantage because when you go and apply for jobs you can already say that you have that experience of not only working with animals but also possibly designing your own animal studies which will put you at a significant advantage towards other applicants for when you are applying for these jobs in the future.”
