The 2nd SaSSOH, 2014

The 2nd SaSSOH was the first joint symposium of “biohazard control” and “chemical hazard control” which are 2 major topics of One Health leading program. By the way, writing “SaSSOH” in Kanji id “颯爽”. The meaning of “颯爽” is emotion that we feel in a refreshing breeze. Ultimately, it expresses jauntiness, gallantry, and a smartness. We hope this symposium help the students and young scientists tackle and solve the serious problems hampering One Health in a “SaSSOH” way.
