Today's storyteller is Dr Claire Cannon! Claire is a veterinary oncologist based in Melbourne Australia. 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. Also, did you know that elephants don't get cancer!? Which is awesome and mind boggling, the world is so cool. 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. 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!
