Java Tsai-Schwoebel

Aussiedoodle

Woof! I’m Java - the world’s first (and only) canine research assistant. I am half Australian Shepherd and half Poodle. I was born in Rhode Island, then moved to Boston when I was only 8 weeks old. Now I live in California, and it’s so sunny and beautiful here! I enjoy long walks, being outdoors, chasing squirrels, eating treats (especially dried fish and chicken meatballs), taking naps, and occasionally having the zoomies.

Research interests: New methods for obtaining more treats.

Favorite food: Dried cod from Polka Dog treats, chicken meatballs, fruit (blueberries, bananas, pineapple, blackberries), and carrots.

Beverage of choice and protocol for preparation: Despite my name, I only drink water!

Favorite lab technique: Providing moral support to all the amazing scientists.

Hobbies: Chasing squirrels, power naps, and stealing socks.
