Speaking Engagements & Media appearances – Jan-July 2017

All three of us regularly lecture at continuing education conferences for other veterinarians, present our research at scientific meetings, and speak at events for pet owners. We also frequently give interviews to the media. Here are some of our more recent speaking engagements and media appearances.

Dr. Lisa Freeman

Dr Freeman gave three lectures at the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine (ACVIM) Forum in Washington, DC, in June. Her lectures included a research talk and two talks on nutritional management of pets with heart disease.

She also spoke on prevention and treatment of muscle loss in senior pets and nutritional support for pets with kidney disease at the North American Veterinary Conference, in Orlando, FL, in February and at the Western Veterinary Conference, in Las Vegas, NV, in March.

She also spoke at the Association for Clinical and Translational Science Annual Meeting in April in Washington, DC on the topic of One Health – human health professionals and veterinarians working together to solve health problems that affect both.

Dr Freeman was quoted in an article on vegan pet food for the New York Times and was featured in an article on health benefits of pets for the Daily Herald. She was also recently interviewed on Steve Dale’s Pet World show, although the show hasn’t yet been posted online.
