The LabOpp Global Leaders podcast is a series of conversations about Careers, the Lab Industry, Training, and People.

In this episode, I was pleased to interview Ginger Dixon from the United States.  Ginger shares her journey and the benefits of data science capabilities for health professionals to understand diseases and support their public health responses. Beyond considerable guidance on potential pathways to gain data science capabilities and the impact of data on the future of One Health initiatives, you will understand the importance of continuing to strive forward despite personal tragedies.

If you would like to get in touch with Ginger Dixon, you can find her on LinkedIn
