Congratulations to Dr. Brennen McKenzie
2022 VIN Veritas Award Winner
The past several years have been difficult worldwide. Closer to home, the stress on veterinary clinics, our colleagues, staff, clients, and families is unprecedented.
These words opened my letter a year ago announcing the winners of the inaugural VIN Veritas Award.
While this award was founded in response to the pandemic and the amazing efforts of colleagues, Steve Valeika and J. Scott Weese, to provide our VIN Community and the world with timely, accurate information about the epidemiology of COVID-19, the importance of the pursuit of scientific accuracy is not limited to understanding one virus.
The VIN Veritas Award – from the Latin for truth – honors those who serve science and truth through courage and integrity.
This year, I’m pleased to announce another worthy recipient to join their ranks.
Brennen McKenzie, VMD, MS (Physiology and Behavioral Biology), MS (Epidemiology), is a small animal practitioner, instructor in evidence-based medicine, and author of the Skeptvet blog. Brennen has long been admired by colleagues for his dedication to promoting evidence-based veterinary medicine, and I am delighted that the 2022 VIN Veritas Award judges saw fit to honor his work.

The VIN Veritas award is bestowed annually upon colleague(s) who demonstrate extraordinary courage and integrity in the service of science and truth.
Nominations will be solicited from colleagues, with a committee choosing the honoree(s) each year.
A call for nominations for VIN Veritas awardees will be distributed in the fall of each year
