How your furries can help science!

[HeatherW]

Hey everyone,

I have a friend who needs photos of people's pets (not just guineas!) for a database to help develop tests for early detection of dementia (amongst others). Would anyone be willing to assist?

Please be aware that, while you would still own the photos (and can do what you want with them), the University of Manchester would own the copyright to the images, so it could potentially sell the database to a publishing company or the NHS, for example. There are no restrictions on how you use your photos.

Here's the original post. Let me know if you have any questions and I'll ask!

At the moderators, I hope this doesn't breach any forum rules, so let me know if it's not appropriate!

I’d love to help! Just let me take some photos
Does it need to be multiple pictures per pet?

 

[Sophie B]

Are these any good?

@Sophie Blane, I don't think it matters too much whether they're multiples or not. Thank you! I'll pass them on!

No problem, I’ll take any excuse for a photo shoot!

I will try to get some suitable pics taken.
I don’t know if any of these are useful.
Anything that helps understanding dementia is good. It’s a cruel disease and the more we can do to help the better
