Science on Tap

Pete DeWaal, DMV, will present this month's Science on Tap topic, "Animals Make Me Sick: Which Animanl-borne Diseases are Communicable to Humans?"

Avian Influenza... Swine Flu... are these diseases actually from our animal friends? What can happen to me if I contract them? This month the Science on Tap group will be reviewing many of the diseases that can spread from animals to people. They range anywhere from the benign to the deadly. Join the group to explore the wild world of animal-born diseases and their affect on human-kind. Are you susceptible?

 Science on Tap is sponsored by the Colorado Springs Science Center Project (CSSCP) as a community outreach program designed to gather audiences in a fun and casual environment to learn from local scientists about contemporary science topics.

BSCS Executive Director Janet Carlson is a founding director of CSSCP, a collaborative, community-engaged initiative to build a science and technology center in Colorado Springs that stimulates and inspires the inquisitive mind.
