It's a great description of the harrowing events aboard MIR and the risks humans undertake to explore beyond our planet.

I actively participate in the Transdisciplinary Phenomenology Research Group at the University of Tennessee. Dr. Greenberg, Dr. Sohn, Dr. Greenberg, Dr. Pollio, Dr. Thomas, and Dr. Smith inspire my curiosity and interest in phenomenology. Their expertise and guidance have made a positive influence on my perspective of teaching, research, and service.

During my residency and PhD, I built my knowledge of veterinary clinical pathology by studying the first and, primarily, the second edition of the FVCP. I was fortunate to meet and converse with the authors, Drs. Stockham and Scott. Dr. Stockham even interviewed me for a position at KSU, which I ultimately declined to join UT. His passing in 2019 left a profound void in the veterinary clinical pathology community. He had been working on the third edition alongside Dr. Scott, and while the previous editions played a significant role in my education, this new edition serves as a reminder that learning is a lifelong journey.

I wanted to pick a contemporary Indian women writer. I read this book a long while back and found the concept very captivating. Most epics or mythologies are narrated from the male point of view. This book narrates the Mahabharata, the most famous Indian epic, from the female perspective. The narrator, a major woman character in the story, is unapologetic about the way she feels, her beliefs, and her actions. She does not fit with the usual depiction of women in traditional stories with their unconditional love and incessant self-sacrifice. She is her own person forced into certain situations, not of her choosing, and reacts accordingly. She is a true heroine with shades of grey and this is a wonderful tribute to all the feminists out there.

The book I chose is about zoonotic diseases and very much embodies the concept of One Health. It is directly related to my profession and the current times we are navigating.

This book is beautifully written and truly interdisciplinary; it is about our world, about social justice, and about thinking better futures.

One of my graduate students recommended it.

Although I am sure that many other individuals from the veterinary college may have chosen this book, and it may be considered as a lack of creativity to choose it, I chose James Herriot's "All Creatures Great and Small" because it really did and continues to, inspire generations of children to become veterinarians. And to this day, sometimes when I am feeling down about the struggles those of us in this profession face, I listen to a recording of this, or other James Herriot books, and it reminds me why I, and so many other wonderful, empathetic, and brilliant people chose this field.

As an undergraduate in Educational Psychology and as a graduate student in School Psychology, I learned about behaviorism and behavioral theory. This theoretical orientation continues to guide my research and applied practice. While I have broadened my orientation over time, my work is grounded in a behavioral framework and influences all that I do.

It is a foundational work in evolutionary biology that will be celebrating its 150 year anniversary in 2021.

I was a huge fan of Carl Sagan when I was younger. I read The Demon Haunted World when I was probably 13 or 14 years old and it really helped shaped my views on the importance of science and ultimately inspired me to become a scientist.
