Viral is a public health podcast for both public health nerds and the general public started by Linsey Grove and Quinn Lundquist and hosted by Linsey and Megan Albertson. Public health consists of too many topics and professionals to name–but we’re going to try to cover it all. From baby bottle tooth decay to social justice, we will discuss the historical context, cultural relevance, and current connections to each topic while interviewing our colleagues in the field. Welcome to Viral.

Welcome to episode 22 of Viral. Sorry we've been gone for about a month, but we are back in the proverbial saddle (get ready for more animal puns) and ready to sink our teeth into a new topic. This week we discuss the link between veterinary medicine and public health. You
don't need hawk vision to see the link here, as we have been transmitting and receiving disease-causing pathogens to and from other species for thousands of years.

Art and science. Left brain and right brain. Analytics and emotion. Science gives us explanations, but art gives those explanations meaning. Naturally, these disciplines overlap and have overlapped for as long as both have existed. Today we discuss a few prominent scientific illustrators throughout history, then we talk to Dr. Eliza Wolfson, microbiologist turned scientific illustrator. Plus, we get to nerd out a little about webcomics and graphic novels. Join us!

*As a warning, this episode mentions things that some listeners might find disturbing (sexual trauma, drug abuse, and strong language).*
In honor of National Recovery Month, we talk with two amazing women and advocates, Kellie Walker and Toni Reynolds, as they tell their recovery stories. We also discuss the intersections of public health, addiction, and prevention with Monica Rousseau, the Pasco Alliance for Substance Abuse Prevention Coalition Coordinator.

Kellie was kind enough to share her writing here:
