Why Vaccines Matter: From Laboratory to Clinic to Community
The program will highlight the New Technologies in Vaccines chapter in the Rx for Science Literacy curriculum manual (provided at no cost) and will feature talks from Wake Forest School of Medicine researchers about why vaccines matter, current topics in vaccine research, clinical perspectives and more.
About the Curriculum:
With generous support from the Biogen Foundation, NCABR and a team of science writers, biomedical researchers and curriculum developers comprehensively updated and expanded the Rx for Science Literacy curriculum manual in 2020. The updated curriculum includes a comprehensive update of all content, statistics and charts. The manual also includes a variety of new activities, resources, interviews with real world scientists and a new section on CRISPR and CRISPR technology. The manual includes chapters on nanobiotechnology, regenerative medicine and vaccines and is accompanied by several resources, including a curriculum crosswalk that shows connections to North Carolina science standards (both 2009 standards and those adopted in July 2023), the Next Generation Science Standards, and a reading guide aligned to the Common Core standards.
