Lectures to explore 'Zoobiquity'

Submitted by Jane P. Marshall

The link between human and animal health

What does a flamingo&1xbet online casino ;s heart attack, a dolphin&1xbet online casino ;s diabetes or a jaguar&1xbet online casino ;s breast cancer mean for you?

Barbara Natterson-Horowitz, M.D., and Kathryn Bowers will present two free lectures onwhat animals can teach us about our 1xbet online casino and the science of healing.

Their book "Zoobiquity" is about listening to and observing animal patient&1xbet online casino ;s experiences with health and illness, to create a greater sense of respect across species and inform human treatments.

They will lecture at noon Wednesday, March 13, at the College of Veterinary Medicine&1xbet online casino ;s Frick Auditorium in Mosier Hall. The discussion, geared to students and professionals in the health fields, will focus on how the veterinary approach in animals can inform and guide physicians challenged by the same issues in human patients.

A 7 p.m. lecture at Sunset Zoo&1xbet online casino ;s Nature Exploration Center will highlight Natterson-Horowitz&1xbet online casino ;s experiences at the Los Angeles Zoo and the connections the authors have made to the practice of human medicine.

Bowers is a journalist and editor who taught writing at 1xbet online casino .
