Think Tanks bring people together to share ideas, spark discussion and build new solutions. We were honored to host such a thoughtful group of clinicians, scientists and advocates—all focused on one goal: driving prevention efforts that could reshape the trajectory of Parkinson’s disease.

Ever wondered why some dog breeds have droopy jowls?! (hint: it's not so they can leave pools of water by the water bowl 🤣) clinical associate professor and primary care/dentistry service chief Dr. Amy Stone chimes in!

She talked with Kinship's Kate Mooney about the benefit of jowls; from helping keep injury down to strategic ways jowls help hunting dogs, like preserving scent and allowing dogs to open their mouths more fully. Dr. Stone also discussed jowl function and what pet parents should know about caring for their pup's jowls.

📖⤵

We spoke with veterinarians who shed light on the origin and function of dog jowls and what health concerns they might pose for dogs.

Both science and ceramics are rooted in the idea that you’re going to fail. One day, the wheel is your friend. You’re able to mold the clay into something beautiful and balanced. In the lab, your experiment is going as planned, producing meaningful data that support your hypothesis. The next day...
