Surfing the Web for News
Part of the job is keeping up with the latest health information about domestic animals and people, as well as wild animals. We surf the Web, maintain a network of colleagues, and attend a scientific meeting or two each year. It turns out that much of what we learn applies to not only to the health of wild animals, but also to healthy ecosystems.
