Thursday, November 5- One Health Week Webinar **HONORS EVENT**
It is time to get out of our One Health bubble and talk about One Health with everybody else- particularly politicians and educators. Have you stayed in contact with your favorite primary or secondary school teacher? Does he or she know about One Health? Do you know who your community’s elected officials are? Do they know about One Health? Learn about how you can get the One Health message out into your community and leverage the major influencers in the world. Let’s make our planet healthier, together!
Students for One Health is proud to host Dr. Deborah Thomson, DVM, a veterinarian, lesson developer, science policy advisor, first responder, award-winning public speaker and musician, and overall One Health advocate.
