On July 28th, I attended the One Health Seminar with Dr. Katie Clow through the OVC Summer CORE Program. During her presentation, Dr. Clow talked about the definition and history of One Health, systems thinking and transdisciplinarity, some challenges and benefits of One Health, her own research on Lyme disease and a case study about Covid-19 emergence. While I had heard One Health mentioned many times before, this seminar gave me a much more thorough understanding of the concept and the many ways in which human, animal and environmental health are connected.
