Funding list

Bogue Fellowship (2024): Awarded approximately £4,000, this prestigious fellowship granted me the incredible opportunity to learn from Professor Michael Davis of Oklahoma State University.  The revised program involved a 17-day intensive course in Alaska, focusing on the "Exercise Physiology of the Working Canine."  This immersive experience culminated in attendance at the Alaska Yukon Quest, where I would contribute veterinary expertise by conducting pre-race, mid-race, and post-race health checks on the participating sled dogs.  While the fellowship originally included sample collection during the planned 550-mile race (which was subsequently cancelled), the revised program ensured I gained invaluable knowledge and practical skills in canine exercise physiology and endurance races.
