Abstract
Increasing diversity and inclusion in science means making change, and making change means overcoming new challenges. The paper entitled "Service Dogs and Safety in Academic Laboratories"opens an important discussion on this topic. However, certain statements in the paper appear to perpetuate a negative bias concerning the inclusion of people with disabilities in science. In this letter, we explain this sentiment and, then, go on to examine and respond to the statements in question.
