Happy New Year!

 

Bunny Buddies

We've made it to the end of 2020 - it has certainly been a wild ride!  Here's to hoping we can spend more time together (safely) in 2021!  We hope that your New Year's Eve is being spent curled up with those you love, just like Yvonne Wong's furry friends!  From all of us at SAVMA and TVG, Hoppy New Year!

Finding Balance

The unique way Jamie Nakatani finds balance

My Vet Candy

Jamie Nakatani has a level of education that would impress almost anyone. She has a Bachelors degree in Animal Biology with a minor in Entomology, an Associates degree in Exotic Animal Training and Management, and plans to complete a PhD in animal behavior after finishing her Doctorate in Veterinary medicine at UC Davis in 2021.

Jamie has been a zookeeper in the past, but one of the most amazing things she has done for animals and the planet we call home is to find a way to tackle the plastic epidemic swelling in our oceans.

She became aware of the problem in a prerequisite microbiology class for veterinary school. In it, the teacher challenged them to track their plastic waste for the week, and to find ways to combat the waste.
