The starting point

A complex scientific topic needed to reach more people.

The One Health approach argues that human, animal, and environmental health are deeply connected, something the COVID-19 pandemic (more than 687 million cases and 6.8 million deaths worldwide) made impossible to ignore. UC Chile needed to explain this integrated approach, and why future epidemiological surveillance depends on it, to a general audience, not just specialists.

What I did

Research, writing, and structure, in one process.

I researched and wrote an article connecting human, animal, and environmental health under the One Health approach, translating technical figures and concepts (like the 200-plus known zoonotic diseases) into clear language for a general audience, without losing the backing of academic sources.

The result

Complex science, told in a way people understand.

The article was published on UC Chile's official site, one of the institutions that already trusts my work. Once I have read or reach data, this is the paragraph that turns it into a story.
