The #HallsofBaker showcase a rich history that promotes the institute's progress since it's inception in 1950. That includes signage that calls back to the original name. The Veterinary Virus Research Institute was formed to address viral diseases in a menagerie of species.

Today Liara Gonzalez, D.V.M. '06, Ph.D., DACVS Associate Professor of Gastroenterology and Equine Surgery at NC State gave an engaging presentation at Baker Institute. The community had a chance to ask questions and discuss the future of animal health. 🐴

Happy Earth Day!

Despite some heavy cloud coverage, members of the Baker community were able to take in and enjoy the 2024 solar eclipse up on the hill. 🕶️☀️

Unless a pet has situational anxiety, an owner may not need to be concerned about the eclipse, says Dr. Sun Kim of #CornellVet 's Duffield Institute for Animal Behavior. To keep them safe, keep your pets inside + “give them fun things to do” while you go check out the eclipse.

On April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will cross North America, passing over Mexico, the United States & Canada. A total solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes between the Sun & Earth, completely blocking the face of the Sun.🧵(1/6)
