Our “Date with History” speaker series is pleased to present “Sit. Stay. Heal: The Biology of the Human-Animal Bond and its Healing Power” on Wednesday, September 25, 2024 at 1pm. The Talbot Historical Society will host Meg Delay Olmert at the Talbot County Free Library.
Meg Daley Olmert is a world-renowned expert on the neurobiology of the human-animal bond and its therapeutic effects. Her ground-breaking book, Made for Each Other: The Biology of the Human-Animal Bond, published in 2009, was the first to trace the evolution of this ancient bond to the emerging neuroscience that underlies this most powerful interspecies phenomenon. She is a subject expert, author and lecturer on the therapeutic effects of the human-animal bond. Her two TEDx talks have been viewed by tens of thousands. She currently serves as science advisor and proud board member of The Comfort Dog Program of Northern Uganda. Meg also was a co-creator of Warrior Canine Connection’s Mission Based Trauma Recovery Program at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland.
Speaker presentation by Meg Olmert will begin at 1:00 PM.
This is presented by the Talbot Historical Society in partnership with the Talbot County Free Library and will take place at the library located at 100 W. Dover St., Easton, MD 21601.
