This year we had 22 amazing TickU participants, who learned about field collecting, identifying, and processing ticks for pathogen testing. These skills will be taken back to our participants’ schools, public health centers, and pest control units. Thanks to our hosts at the Tennessee Department of Health in Nashville, TN, and to all our instructors and volunteers! Check out the highlight reel of the week above!
