Vet Science Week 2026 is here!

Dr. Jennifer Manyweathers

Jennifer graduated from the University of Sydney on 1999 and spent a few years on the far south coast of New South Wales in a mixed dairy practice. She then moved across into teaching and joined the Questacon Science Circus, travelling Australia and sharing amazing science with rural and remote communities. Jennifer moved, with her partner and daughter, to Japan in 2006, and taught Science Communication at Tsukuba University. Four years and two more children later, she returned and started her PhD, looking at the discourse amongst vets and horse owners about the Hendra Virus vaccine, graduating in 2017. Jennifer took up a postdoctoral fellow position at Charles Sturt University in the same year, completing her epidemiology memberships in 2019. She started in a teaching research position at Charles Sturt in 2021, and is now a senior lecturer in veterinary epidemiology. She has examined for the College at membership level for several years.
