About

Dr. Mclaughlin is a graduate of Cornell School of Vet med, class of 91. He did mixed practice in northern NY on the shores of lake Ontario and in the high Andes as a Peace Corps volunteer in Ecuador, where he worked with campesino farmers and learned how not to ride a horse. As an epidemiologist "disease detective" for the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, Dr. Mclaughlin worked for 9 years on public health problems ranging from tuberculosis in prison inmates to polio in Nepal, elephantiasis in Haiti and Japanese encephalitis in China and India.

His lifelong interest in teaching and effective learning models led him to start the Zuku Review in 2007.
