A three day International Workshop on “Ethics in Research and Lab Safety” concluded at the School of Public Health and Zoonoses, Guru Angad Dev Veterinary and Animal Sciences University, Ludhiana. 
This workshop was organised in collaboration with University of Saskatchewan, Canada. Dr. S. K Uppal, Dean Post Graduate Studies, GADVASU said that such workshop is very helpful for the post graduate students to learn “Lab safety and Research Ethics” which are integral parts of scientific research. Scientists from USA told students about the significance of ethics in scientific research, how to decide giving credits to the scientists involved in a research project as well as the guidelines for animal research. He elaborated contribution of Professor Emilie Jenkins, Western College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Saskatchewan, Canada for facilitating this workshop. In the concluding remarks he mentioned other facilitators including Dr. Janet Hill and Dr. Sarah Parker (from WCVM, University of Saskatchewan), Dr. Peter Thompson and Dr. Benjamin Rosenthal (from US Department of Agriculture, USA) and Dr. Jatinder Gulani (Frederick National Laboratory for Cancer Research, USA).
During the workshop, Dr. Jenkins from University of Saskatchewan talked about the relationship between post graduate student 
and the advisor. Dr. Hill discussed with students about the importance of lab book and how it can be maintained for fruitful research. In addition, faculty from GADVASU also gave lectures about the topics pertinent to workshop. Dr. Uppal distributed certificates to the participants after their successful completion of the workshop.
Dr RS Aulakh, coordinator of the workshop thanked the post graduate students for their participation in this workshop. More than 60 students from various departments of GADVASU attended the workshop. Dr Aulakh informed that the participants learned many important concepts about biosafety, handling chemicals in lab, personal protective equipment, ethics in research, citation manager and plagiarism etc. Students will use this information in conducting their research and will get benefit from it. Dr.AS Nanda, Vice-Chancellor GADVASU congratulated the organizers for this endeavour and hoped that it will result in productive research in veterinary and animal sciences.
