Teens are invited to the Museum of Nature and Science for, “Teen Science Café: Emerging Infectious Diseases – Using the Past to Prepare for the Future,” on Thursday, March 15, 2018 from 5:30 – 7:00 PM. Bryant Foreman, Senior Research Associate at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) will host the evening’s program via video conference from Maryland. The program is open to middle and high school students ages 13-17.
Teens will learn how emerging pathogens have had an increasingly significant impact on human and animal populations across the globe. They will explore what is being done to combat these diseases, and what does the future look like with or without them?
Mr. Foreman currently works in a viral pathogenesis lab for the National Institute of Health – NIAID with previous experience working with the USDA monitoring avian and swine flu outbreaks.
Teen Science Café is a free, fun way for teens to explore the advances in science and technology and meet with STEM professionals to learn about career options for their future. Teens participate in discussion and hands on activities for deeper exploration of topics they choose.
