Understanding COVID-19 Registration Form
Understanding COVID-19 is a 2-day course (April 20th and 21st, 10 AM - 3 PM EST) intended to provide interested high school students with exposure to concepts in biotechnology through the lens of the COVID-19 pandemic. Students will leave the course able to answer the following questions:

- Where did the virus come from and how did it spread?
- How does the virus cause COVID-19 disease? How is it similar or different to other coronaviruses or pandemic-causing viruses?
- How do we treat COVID-19? How does medicine, the academic world, industry, and government come together to respond to a pandemic?
- How do we develop vaccines -- in general, and specifically for COVID-19? How do different types of vaccines work?

Lectures will cover topics including COVID-19 epidemiology and testing, the biological mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2 infection, and COVID-19 treatment and vaccination. Additional activities include an interview with a COVID-19 patient and their doctor, a clinical case study workshop, and a career panel featuring scientists, physicians, policy makers, and journalists who have all played a role in the COVID-19 response. Through a combination of these engaging lectures, activities, and panel events, we hope that students come away with both a more detailed understanding of this world-changing virus and a better idea of various roles that many have played in combating it!
