SUMMARY:Talk - United in Health: Exploring Linkages Between Animals\, Humans\, and the Environment Through an Interdisciplinary Lens
DESCRIPTION:The talk will be held virtually via Zoom and in-person at 107 Norman Smith Hall\, UMaine\, Orono. \n\nVirtual attendance: Complete the registration form for Zoom connection information\n\nSpeaker: Pauline Kamath\, Associate Professor of Animal Health\, School of Food and Agriculture\, University of Maine \n‘One Health’ refers to the holistic concept that the health of people\, animals\, and the environment are dependent on one another. The concept has been accepted internationally by public health\, veterinary\, and agricultural organizations\, and champions an approach that brings together diverse disciplines to tackle health challenges at the local to global level. This talk will cover the One Health Initiative at UMaine\, including the development of educational programming to train students to tackle human-animal-environmental health issues through interdisciplinary collaborations in the social and biophysical sciences\, as well as the engagement of diverse stakeholder groups. I will also give examples of interdisciplinary research from my group to understand and manage wildlife diseases from a One Health lens\, including a project examining the effects of parasite infections on Maine’s iconic moose population. \nPauline Kamath is an Associate Professor of Animal Health at the University of Maine\, Orono\, in the School of Food and Agriculture\, and an Associate Faculty of the Maine Center for Genetics and the Environment\, UMaine Institute of Medicine\, Department of Wildlife Fisheries and Conservation Biology\, and Ecology and Environmental Sciences program at UMaine. Dr. Kamath earned her Ph.D. in Environmental Science\, Policy and Management at the University of California\, Berkeley. Her research focuses on the ecology and evolution of wildlife diseases at the domestic animal-human interface. Dr. Kamath has been actively involved with One Health Initiative at UMaine\, through which student training programs in One Health and the Environment have been developed. She also is involved in One Health internationally\, and served as a member of the World Health Organization European Region One Health Technical Advisory Group from 2021-2024.
