Jamie Goltz Attends the Virtual World One Health Congress
Jamie Goltz, recipient of the first-ever University of Guelph One Health Student Committee (OHSC) World One Health Congress Scholarship, attended the Congress from her home last week.
This is what Jamie had to say:
"I'm so grateful for this experience where I got to attend the 6th Annual One Health Congress 2020. This experience has taught me about many different ways that researchers around the world are using a One Health framework to tackle complex health issues. I can't wait to use the knowledge I've gained from this opportunity in my project here at the University of Guelph, as well as in future research!"
