- Journal Club – choose an academic paper relevant to your field of study, which ideally also touches on the One Health pillars of human, animal and environmental health and wellbeing. A link to the paper can be provided to all students in advance, and ideally students will come to the journal club ready to participate in the discussion.
- Research Bite – share what you’re working on! What makes it interesting and great? Is it – or could it be – One Health? Why? Include 2-3 slides outlining your research.
Presentations should be no more than 15-20 minutes in length, to leave time for 10-15 minutes of discussion and questions. Undergraduates and graduates are welcome to present!
The best presentations will be informative and engaging: Think big, present boldly – and be brief! These are great, low-stress ways to engage with your fellow students ‘on-campus’, and network. We welcome all disciplines and perspectives to the One Health discussion!
