This is especially important in resource-limited countries where shortage of laboratory personnel creates a large demand for skilled graduates. Internet and other technology can be useful to teach specific tasks in CBET. Even in resource-limit...

Food availability is expected to trigger hibernation and torpor (ie heterothermy) use.
