Understanding the science of viral transmission and pandemics is now critical, especially for younger generations. In this episode, STPF fellow and veterinarian Deborah Thomson discusses how the One Health framework provides a holistic understanding of the coronavirus SARS CoV-2 and its related disease COVID-19. She also discusses how One Health informed her work as a veterinarian and how she now uses it to teach students around the world about COVID-19.

Phil Ko earned his Ph.D. in Psychology from Vanderbilt University for his research on visual memory, attention, and object representation. During his postdoctoral fellowship at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, he examined how visual memory systems change with age, dementia, and different states of awareness, using electroencephalographic and eye movement measurements. Dr. Ko is also an educator, both in the classroom and the community. He has held faculty positions at Vanderbilt University and Austin Peay State University, and has actively brought science to various community events in Nashville for children and the elderly. As a AAAS S&T Policy Fellow, he hopes to further learn how to bridge the scientific community and the public. Phil enjoys playing music in his spare time.
