Come see what it is like to do disease surveillance and study biodiversity through the lens of genomics. Take a tour to understand what it is like to work with big cats, primates, birds, bats, frogs, snakes and many other kinds of animals. See a first hand account illustrating the habitat loss endangering these ecosystems as well as the dangers scientists put themselves in when doing this important work.
