“There was an outbreak of E. coli O157:H7 associated with people eating tiger meat sandwiches or cannibal sandwiches. It’s not actually tiger, it’s not tiger meat but that’s what we heard, so when we are at the health department, we saw some lab report coming in of the same strain of O157:H7 and that triggers us to initiate some kind of investigation”

Our guest today is Dr. Abbey Canon. Dr. Canon is a 2011 graduate from the Iowa State University. She is currently the director of communications for the American Association of Swine Veterinarians. Throughout this episode, we talk about her time on a dude range, how she earned her Master’s in Public Health and spent some time as a ‘Disease Detective’ with the CDC. She shares with us lessons from her time as an instructor at Iowa State University and what is was like to have an amazing role with the Center for Food Security and Public Health. We even touch on how motherhood has changed her outlook on her career. Dr. Canon is full of so many great stories and words of wisdom. We cannot wait to share this journey with you.
