Uwe Reischl, professor for the School of Allied Health Sciences Department of Community and Environmental Health, was interviewed by KTVB reporter Dean Johnson about how his research focused on keeping agricultural workers from overheating could be applied to police canines. Reischl’s lab has developed a prototype of a vest designed to keep dogs cool. The vest could be adapted to use Kevlar, thus providing protection from bullets as well.
