Tags: Kate Archibald's Homemade Cookies....

Invertebrate Cookie Tray
We just wrapped up the NCSU-CVM week-long Invertebrate Medicine course with it's 20 student enrollment. One of these students, Kate Archibald ('14), somehow managed to find the time and creativity to bake up a wonderful batch of invertebrate cookies! She did this after attending the annual CVM Awards Banquet on Thursday night where she was recognized with an award! Despite reservations on destroying these delights through consumption, most of the students and faculty succumbed to temptation, and enjoyed the delicious coelenterates, turbellarians, mollusks, annelids, chlicerates, crustaceans, and echinoderms that Kate created and so generously provided!

Selected Works

Science Writing
The Second Edition of Invertebrate Medicine was released in December, 2011. It has been substantially expanded from the first edition to reflect the tremendous growth of the pertinent literature and work that is being accomplished in the fields of invertebrate animal medicine, disease investigation, conservation, husbandry, and animal welfare. In 2012 it is being recognized with a Text and Academic Authors Association TEXTY award for excellence in the Life Sciences Category and first place in the Health Care Professionals (nonphysicians) category of the 2012 American Medical Writers Association Book Awards.
This book, edited by Karen L. Rosenthal, Neil A. Forbes, Frederic L. Frye, and Gregory A. Lewbart, utilizes approximately 400 clinical cases to describe and address many of the major medical and surgical conditions of exotic animal pets.
Invertebrate Medicine is the single most comprehensive resource available today on invertebrate animal medicine.
