I am currently in Atlanta at
the 2016 SHEA Spring Conference.
The scientific program thus
far has been excellent, particularly this morning’s session on “Selling Your
Results: To Suits, Scientists and Society”. The quote of the session was:
‘Diplomacy is the act of letting
someone else have your way.’
Yesterday I sat for a video
interview with Contagion magazine,
to be published online. The topic was animal assisted therapy in healthcare and
infection risk, based on a lecture that I gave at one of the SHEA Plenary
sessions.
On Saturday I have a debate
with Dr. Anthony Harris from the University of Maryland, a pro/con exchange on
the universal use of gowns and gloves. Expect a spirited discussion.
Stay tuned.
Below are some pictures from the event featuring some of my colleagues and students from VCU.
