I found the easiest ones to get on and off my dog have velcro down the front. Also make sure that the hole for the leash lines up with either his collar or harness, depending on what he wears.

I didn’t even hear about the last author thing until I was a postdoc. I think I actually laughed when my supervisor requested to go last on a paper. I really wish we could get past the order mattering, too. If we can’t predict how someone else might interpret the order why worry about it?

My heart is breaking for my colleagues at all these sites, even as we feds wait to hear what else might get cut. Also a ton of other fed and non-fed scientists have careers that ran through these programs. I can’t imagine the future we’re losing by not continuing to support them
