Hello everyone!
This week we’re having our first meeting on February 7th, 8-9pm in Dwinelle 255. In the first half of the meeting, we’ll be welcoming Dr. Sophia Papageorgiou, a veterinarian by training and an esteemed member of the One Health Initiative at UC Davis to talk about the journey she’s been on in the field.
Here is a brief bio about her:
Sophia Papageogiou, DVM, MPVM, PhD has been involved with One Health and Planetary Health through the UC Global Health Institute. She has a passion for animals that has driven her through UC Davis’s veterinary and PD program, where studied wildlife and conservational medicine. Professionally, Dr. Papageorgiou hopes to implement the One Health model to promote the health of animals, humans, and the ecosystems in which they reside. Additionally, she aspires to train students in epidemiology, ecosystem health, and the newly defined global and One Health sciences that link these disciplines.
The second half of our meeting will focus on starting the working groups (1) Team building for the One Health competition team and (2) the Symposium Planning Committee.
