Artificial Intelligence is making a mark in vet clinics, just as it is in other areas of life. I went to a few lectures on this today: it's early days & still far from perfect but it's easy to see that in a decade, this will play a major role for both vets and pet owners #bsava25

Ireland's entry for Eurovision is called Laika Party . I thought this just a catchy party-song, but Emmy the (Norwegian) singer/songwriter is an animal lover. The song is a tribute to Laika, a Russian stray dog tragically sacrificed for space travel. The best of luck to Emmy.
