2025 ZEW Wet Lab General Information

Our 2025 Wet Lab will take place on Saturday, February 1st and Sunday, February 2nd, from 7 a.m.–5 p.m. The Wet Lab will feature labs and lectures from 6 different “tracks” (Avian, Small Mammal, Reptile, Marine, Wildlife, and Zoo), as well as a student-clinician roundtable & breakout sessions. Students will be able to customize their experience by choosing one track throughout the wet lab or by choosing to participate in labs and lectures from different tracks.

The Lab Description, Schedule, and Registration buttons are all located at the top of this page. In addition, please take the time to check out and thank our 2025 Wet Lab sponsors! If you have any questions please e-mail elisabeth.moore@tamu.edu. There is a “checklist item” blurb at the bottom of this page to help you consolidate the required steps to attend the lab.
