Getting really good at lab interpretation + having solid next steps for a given abnormality are game changers. 

For you, for your patients, for your practice. 

Think less second-guessing yourself or being second guessed.

And we don't just mean you know the list of differentials for a high ALT or low glucose. Instead, you'll have a solid approach to the abnormality, building confidence from all directions. Or, you'll know that the test result doesn't even require more, saving the owners money & saving you from second guessing yourself.

The truth is a lot of people don't know what they don't know.

They think:, oh, I am good enough at interpreting blood work or other lab results' or 'I'll just call the consult line or check with AI,' but what if a better strategy was just a few clicks away?

What if...

knowing the 'next steps' gave you some peace of mind and made your day just a bit easier?

What if...

your new strategy led to better patient outcomes & owner communication?

What if... 

you could be a more confident & skilled clinician, who others sought out?

Lab diagnostic guidance
​​​​​​​without the sales pitch.   

Most of the lab education out there comes from laboratories, and many of them have an agenda: for you to run more of their tests.

birdbrain is independent. You're already sitting on a goldmine of information in the diagnostics you run every day. The goal is to help you actually use it, so your patients get better care and your clients save money.

No gatekeeping. No shame. Just practical next steps from someone who has been interpreting these results for 25 years.

 Inside birdbrain, you'll...

 Meet Dr. Nicole Weinstein 

Veterinarian + board certified clinical pathologist

Dr. Nicole loves learning + sharing that learning... and so it was either return to academia (where she taught for over 15 years) or create a website!

For years, former students told her they were still using her course materials long after graduation. birdbrain is those notes, grown up, plus the support she wished every new clinician had.

Simplifying challenging concepts and empowering learners are her passions. Dr. Nicole also started a small diagnostic laboratory (coming soon!), after transitioning from a corporate lab.

When her eyes go crossed from too much birdbrain screentime, you can find her walking a dog or baking (& promptly eating) something sweet.

Why "birdbrain"?​​​​​​​ 

As a pathology resident, Dr. Nicole never wanted to leave the nest. Her mentor was her "mama bird," the one who looked over every case. They've called each other mama bird and baby bird for 20+ years. birdbrain is that same feeling for you: someone in your corner who checks your thinking, with zero judgement or gatekeeping.

Clear next steps & peace of mind for less than xxx.

Subscription options for veterinarians, veterinary technicians/nurses + veterinary students.

Happy learning!

I can't wait to meet + learn with you!
