It's really such a fun conversation and I know I say this a lot but y'all the storytellers teach me so much every week!! Enjoy! Okay so we talk about the balance of clinical visits and teaching, about mental health in the veterinary world, about science communication, and about what her day to day job looks like. Also, did you know that elephants don't get cancer!? Which is awesome and mind boggling, the world is so cool. Today we talk all about cancer in pets, particularly dogs and cats, and I learned so much about the field, research, and types of cancers that impact our pets. Today's storyteller is Dr Claire Cannon! Claire is a veterinary oncologist based in Melbourne Australia. You can find Homeward Bound at their website, on Twitter and on Facebook at. You can find Rachel Villani on Twitter Storytellers of STEMM on Facebook and on the shiny new Twitter account can find Paula on Twitter List: The Future We Choose by Christiana Figueres and Tom Rivett-Carnac And towards the end, since I know Paula through Homeward Bound (we're both #TeamHB5), we chat a little about our experiences and favorite parts of the Homeward Bound program. We also dive into what drew her to engineering, what it's like working in this field. So Paula is here today to talk about what a water resources engineer does, what her job looks like day to day, the kinds of projects she works on, and the favorite parts of her job. Water is vital to a lot of things and so I'm excited to share this conversation with y'all. If you're like me, when you think water management, you either think of something like in urban areas, or in more natural environments (for me, Mississippi River flows). Today's storyteller is Paula Silva! Paula is a water resources engineer at a large international consulting firm.
