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 or being influenced by a lab upsell.
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...
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.
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 judgement. No upsells. Just practical next steps based on first hand knowledge, practical experience, & relevant literature.
Inside birdbrain, you'll...
Know the next step to take in blood work interpretation, additional testing, & patient care.

Your questions, answered by Dr. Nicole herself.
Vet med has plenty of challenges. Laboratory diagnostic interpretation + planning is one where we've got your back. Our goal is practical guidance for test results with a solid foundation of disease + organ pathophysiology.
Office hours with Dr. Nicole. Bring the case or topic that's been bugging you and talk it through live.
Forum answers from a pathologist. Questions are answered by Dr. Nicole, with input from other colleagues when a question calls for it.
Ask questions on results, no matter who ran the test. Whether an in-house result, a big lab, or anthing in between.
If you learn best with a visual representation for an explanation, then office hours are for you.
Kind words.
"Dr. Weinstein was the best teacher I've ever had."
"The guides are so easy to use & really practical with such great info!"
"I love how it's organized. The images are so good."
"Journal club was great. I learned at least 3 new things & didn't even have to read the articles."
"Topic rounds are like attending a mini CE!"
"I watched the rounds recording & can't wait to attend in person next time."
Meet Dr. Nicole Weinstein
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 every student, veterinarian, or veterinary technician deserves. Simplifying challenging concepts and empowering learners are her passions.
Dr. Nicole also started a small diagnostic laboratory (coming soon!), after transitioning from a corporate diagnostic lab. It serves a few purposes: more teaching material, an affordable, quality option for you & your clients, & feeding her love of diagnostics.
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, and reminds you that practical interpretations & next steps are the goal.
Clear next steps & peace of mind whenever you need them.
