On Wednesday, we talked about veterinarians role in government, and briefly how the American law-making process works. We also had lectures on case studies, including the Mountain Gorilla in Uganda, and a lecture from Lynne Gaffikan, who's worked on women's reproductive rights and education in Africa. In the afternoon and evening, we had time to finish up (aka do all the work on!) our group projects and presentations.
Thursday morning rolled around, and our group turned in our assignment and gave our Powerpoint presentation, which went fairly well. We went with our original idea of an ecotourism destination in the Amazon, although we decided to focus on the Amazon River Dolphin as sort of a charismatic species of interest to draw tourists. As soon as we finished, I hopped in a van with Dean Goeldner, who had talked to us about veterinarians in government, to head to the Jacksonville airport. For the holiday weekend, I'm taking a vacation from Envirovet to go to my boyfriend's sister's wedding near Philadelphia....I'll be back on Sunday!
