Wyatt, Michael, and Ken sit down with professor emeritus of zoological medicine at the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine, Dr. Elliott Jacobson, to discuss a variety of topics related to turtle and tortoise health, infectious disease, and treatment. The conversation ranges from what it is like to research Testudine Intranuclear Coccidiosis and a variety of other infectious diseases, studying sea turtle diseases, adventures in the Mojave Desert to learn more about Testudine Mycoplasmosis, and many other adventures and stories. Advice for those interested in pursuing veterinary school, in general and specializing in exotic species, is scattered throughout the podcast.
