 Agathe LaroyeAgathe Laroye was an MSc student at the University of Strasbourg who did the research component of her graduate degree with Georgia. Between Jan and July 2008, she ran two meta-analyses to investigate how animals in standard, non-enriched cages spend their time when not stereotyping (see Becky Meagher’s project). Now back in her home town of Clermont Ferrand, her MSc completed, she is writing up two papers from her work in Guelph. |

 Sara-Lee Tilly Sara-Lee Tilly was an MSc student from Utrecht, the Netherlands, who did a research project in Georgia’s lab. between Jan and July 2008. She investigated why old stereotypic mice become harder to ‘cure’ with environmental enrichment (see Jamie Dallaire’s ‘What we do’). She is now back home and finishing up her MSc.
