The PDE blog: virtual classroom edition


Of course not everyone wants to hear about purebred dog health from a jumped-up journalist with a chip on her shoulder and a grenade in her hand.

So here, for those who like their information in a more... measured manner.. is the Bradshaw + Sargan Show.

John Bradshaw is the author of the very-well received In Defence of Dogs. David Sargan is a gene hunter at Cambridge University who also oversees the BOAS laboratory there.

We interviewed David for Pedigree Dogs Exposed - and he was very gentlemanly indeed when he kindly gave us several hours of our time and it all ended up on the cutting room floor. (He said some great stuff.. it was just that we had interviewed the world and his father and ended up not being able to use every contribution).

The intended audience for this? Not quite sure to be honest... but then I inhabit a world of grabby soundbites. What do *you* think?
