Cats, sheltering, homeless animals, and prospective adopter markets are not always in perfect alignment. The situation for dogs is better, but for certain breed types, still not very good. Dr. Moyer is a former animal shelter executive, a practicing veterinarian, and more recently, an educator in a field of high stakes, scarce resources, and often absent data. Moyer has also held various elected and appointed positions within these organizations, notably having served as the PVMA's President for the year 2004 and was awarded the PVMA Veterinarian of the Year award for 2005. He is currently the President-Elect and Board Member of the American Animal Hospital Association.
Hauling science out of the lab for a night on the town, the Penn Science Café offers the Philadelphia region an opportunity to pitch questions to leading scientific experts who drop the jargon to explain their work in layman's terms. Featuring faculty from the School of Arts and Sciences—as well as Penn's schools of Engineering and Applied Science, Medicine and Veterinary Medicine—all Penn Science Café events are free and open to the public.
