In this special 50th episode celebration of One Health Wednesdays, Dr. Ginger Dixon and Dr. Julia Zammit turn the mic toward each other for a candid conversation about the journey so far, the guests who have shaped the show, and the future they hope to keep building together.

They reflect on what continues to draw them to One Health, from community-based data and wildlife epidemiology to agriculture, gender equity, education, and breaking down silos through real human connection. Along the way, they share what they have learned from their guests, what they are reading, what keeps them grounded in this work, and why this community matters so deeply.

We’re celebrating 50 episodes, but what really stands out is the community around this work. It’s the people connecting ideas across disciplines, the researchers and practitioners doing thoughtful work, and the educators and advocates showing up with real heart, all of it in service of a stronger future for the next generation.

Here’s to 50 episodes, and to the next 50!
