Calling all mouse metabolism scientists that have used CalR to analyze their EE data - take a few minutes to take the survey below! @MouseCentral @MMPCatUCDavis @NationalMMPC @MMRRC @vumcdiabetes
CalR is a simple and popular tool for analysis of indirect calorimetry experiments. We have some thoughts on the next features to add and where to focus our efforts but want to know what you think. Please take our quick survey here. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F… @SableSys @TSESystems
