I still do. The cell, as simple as it may seem, is so wonderfully complex. The idea that cells are packaged into a multicellular organism capable of movement, directed activity, reproduction, and growth continues to be an inspiration. The public is invited to this free event at 2 pm in Foellinger Auditorium. Dr. Bielitzki and Mr. Roger Caras, president emeritus of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, will speak about the human-animal bond and other ways people and animals interact.
Veterinary medicine is a significant and special way to work.
Dr. Bielitzki originally intended to be a companion animal veterinarian, but he kept an open mind about his career. En route to his present position, he worked as a zoo veterinarian and later as a laboratory animal veterinarian specializing in primates. Dr. Bielitzki believes that future veterinary students should consider certain principles and values before jumping into the four-year program. When Dr. Bielitzki decided to enter veterinary medicine, he admits that he didn't consider any of the above. I went into school with optimism and blind faith that everything would work out.
