Spring in Paris
Updates on my travel and speaking schedule
Dear Readers,
You may have noticed your inbox hasn’t gotten much from me recently, so I wanted to fill you in on a few updates about my travel/speaking schedule that will slightly affect my usual publishing. Next week, my wife and I will be presenting 15 hours of RACE-approved CE in Paris for Traveling Vet Retreats, and we’ll be spending a few days in Amsterdam afterwards. I was last in France almost a decade ago and I’m excited to be back and enjoy the sights along with some great food and wine 🍷 I’ve spent the past couple weeks working hard polishing the lectures I’ll be presenting:
Microscopy Tips and Tricks*
Body Cavity Effusion Analysis*
Diagnosing Infectious Organisms*
Tumor Cytology in Dogs and Cats*
Evidence-Based Cytology
Hematology in the ER*
Acid-Base Evaluation
While this event sold out a while ago, paid subscribers to All Science actually already have access to older versions of FIVE of these talks in the the CE Center!1 If you prefer seeing live lectures with interactive virtual slides, case discussions and Q&A, I will be presenting similar material at the DVM360-Fetch Long Beach Veterinary Conference December 6th-8th.
In other lecture circuit news, I was selected to be a speaker and panelist at the Veterinary Innovation Summit in Kansas City August 22-23 and to present a TED-style talk at the Hill’s Global Symposium in Cancun, Mexico this October (schedule and details not yet available). Both of these will focus on the role of AI in veterinary medicine, particularly medical imaging.
I hope to see some of you at these conferences!
Even though I won’t be publishing much for the next week or so, I don’t want to leave you empty handed, so I have re-posted and removed the paywall on several of my favorite travel essays from last year. I particularly enjoyed writing “Food Lessons” about meals I’ve had around the world (including my first trip to France in 2016):
Over the years, I’ve certainly had my share of less than 5-star meals. Sometimes when chasing great local dining experiences I’ve endured flavors I don’t enjoy at best, or nasty indigestion at worst. But as Anthony Bourdain once said:
“If you don't risk the bad meal, you'll never get the magical one.”
That’s good advice to live by.
Here are several others:
“Strangers on a Train” details the ugly side of migrant politics in Europe that we experienced when traveling from Switzerland to Italy. With divisive elections in the US and abroad this year, this message is more urgent than ever
I did not know much about The Last Supper until seeing it in person, and what I learned gave me a deeper respect for Da Vinci’s artistic and technical innovations
This piece explores how Singapore is using green technology to live combat climate change and live more harmoniously with nature
With any luck, this trip to Europe will inspire some more articles that combine my love of food and travel with medicine and science! As always, I’ll keep you posted.
Cheers,
Eric
Lectures with an asterisk are available in the CE Center as downloadable PDFs. These are older versions of the talks, but still contain great information!
