East Africa Workshop
Seattle BioMed scientists are headed to Africa to lead the 9th Annual East African Workshop this July in Morogoro, Tanzania. The two-week workshop focuses on the immunology of parasitic diseases. Organizers promote networks of East African and international scientists with the ultimate goal of training young scientists in areas where infectious diseases are endemic.
Global Health 101
Nearly 100 "armchair scientists" -- kids, teens and adults alike -- will get their hands on science at Seattle BioMed's summer Global Health 101 event: A Summer Science Evening for Families. While the little ones learn a chemical reaction to make bath fizzies, older kids will make DNA necklaces and dissect mosquitoes. Parents can interact with our world-renowned infectious disease scientists in our research labs. We're pleased that so many families have jumped at the opportunity to spend an evening learning with us. Although we're maxed out on attendance for our July event, we'll host more events like this in the future.
