Meet Cornell's Veterinary Technician Committee! 🩺🐾

Veterinary technicians are essential to veterinary medicine—and at Cornell, they're building a stronger community for one another too.

This newly formed committee brings together Cornell LVTs from across Cornell University Hospital for Animals (CUHA) and beyond, united by a shared mission: strengthening connection, communication, recognition, and community among Cornell's LVTs.

Some of their initiatives include:
🐾 Monthly LVT Community Days with snacks & fun activities
⭐ Staff spotlights & appreciation
📬 A dedicated email for outreach & peer support
💻 Web resources highlighting internal opportunities
📌 An engaging morale board with bimonthly prizes

One profession. Many specialties. One community. 🐾

Years ago, Dr. Brenda Hanley, Research Associate in the Department of Public and Ecosystem Health at Cornell University, connected with the late Dr. Jorge Rabinovich after he read her scientific paper on a population matrix that shared its structure with the guanaco (Lama guanicoe), a species of deep ecological importance in South America. 🦙

Joined by Cornell postdoc Jen Grauer, the team set out to answer an urgent question in Argentina: how to balance grass consumption to support both local grazing economies and guanaco conservation.

A juvenile red-tailed hawk arrived in rehabilitation emaciated, recumbent, and experiencing seizures. Despite supportive care, her condition worsened. Diagnostic testing at the Cornell Animal Health Diagnostic Center (AHDC) confirmed West Nile virus (WNV) infection, with significantly higher viral loads detected in brain tissue compared to blood — reflecting the virus's known affinity for neural tissue.🔬

WNV is a mosquito-borne virus that cycles between birds and mosquitoes, with wild birds serving as the primary reservoir. Raptors can also become infected by consuming infected prey. Monitoring WNV in wild bird populations plays a vital role in public health surveillance, helping track viral activity in the environment and providing early warning for both animal and human health risks. 🪶

This spring, Katie Broikos, CVM '26, traveled to Laguna Beach, California, to complete a veterinary student externship at the Pacific Marine Mammal Center(PMMC). 🦭

During her externship, Katie assisted in rehabilitating injured and ill pinnipeds, helping admit adult California sea lions, northern elephant seal pups, and even a Guadalupe fur seal pup. One highlight included checking the endotracheal tube cuff on an anesthetized adult female California sea lion during an admission exam — just one of many hands-on learning moments during her time at PMMC. 🌊

Pockets of low vaccination rates in some schools help explain why measles outbreaks have been climbing in the U.S., even when county-level vaccination numbers – the data policymakers consult – appear high enough to provide community protections.

A new study, published Aug. 18 in Nature Medicine, helps reveal why measles, which was declared eliminated in the U.S. in 2000, increased to more than 3,500 cases in 2025-26.
