Where curiosity
runs wild.
Exploring the connections between people, animals, and the environments we share — one question, one project, and occasionally one worm at a time.

Why One Health?
One Health starts with the simple idea that the health of people, animals, and ecosystems are all connected.
From plastic waste and sustainable engineering to primate lives and infectious disease, these projects ask connected questions about our shared world. Students bring fresh questions; community partnerships ground the work in local knowledge and shared priorities.
02 / THE PEOPLE
These projects grow through collaboration among students, researchers, and community partners in the US, Ethiopia, and beyond. Together, we bring different perspectives to questions about health, conservation, and sustainability.
I’m India Schneider-Crease, a scientist and assistant professor at Arizona State University. This site brings together the projects I help lead and the people and partnerships that make them possible.
