Today, the Safari settles down in Nashville to talk to a whole lot of people about the incredible experience we all shared at the American Association of Zoo Veterinarians 2023 Conference! We talk with Dr. Meredith Persky of the Jacksonville Zoo about the importance of the conference, how her episode with me actually helped me out at this conference, and so much more! Dr. Taylor Gregory of the Greensboro Science Center is here to laugh about us not recognizing each other because of panda cubs, share the incredible unique paths into becoming a zoo vet, and how your perspective changes from conference to conference. Julie Best of the AAZV is here to talk about the logistics of putting a conference like this together. And then Sydney Kirk of the Wild Animal Health Fund comes on to talk about the amazing experience had at Zoo Day, and how a bunch of vets and Brad Paisley teamed up to raise a ton of money for WAHF! EPISODE LINKS: www.aazv.org @aazvzoovets @aazveducation @wildanimalhealthfund ROSSIFARI LINKS: www.rossifari.com @rossifari on socials @rossifaripod on TikTok patreon.com/rossifari to support the pod @rossifari on Venmo for one time donations
