The Word of the Day is a
training
tool implemented at FLSC to assist our staff in becoming fluent in the
languages of research, medicine and animal care. We
have
included the Word of the Day on our web site as a reference for our
staff.
Each working day a new vocabulary word is introduced on the board in
the
FLSC foyer. At FLSC staff meetings, a quiz on Word of the Day is
given with a traveling prize awarded to the individual with the highest
score. Flying Monkey is this year's traveling trophy. The quiz winners
will
vie to give the Flying Monkey a permanent home at the end of the
year.
For a clue to the bonus word or Tie Breaker on this month's quiz,
search
the archives for the wagging dog! We welcome all life-long
learners
to enjoy the FLSC Word of the Day.
