COVID-19 Informational Video – Pinned to Our Instagram Page!
One of our core beliefs at the UBC Genetics Club is in the power of effective scientific communication. The UGC team noticed that during the coronavirus pandemic, misinformation was being spread on multiple platforms regarding the vaccine. We decided to contribute to social media, using our scientific sources in the Faculty of Science at the University of British Columbia. Special thanks to Nayrouz El-azzabi, Megan Lum, Parvin Malhi, Ani Markarian, Kisa Naqvi, Nilou Noursagdeghi, Maya Sato-Klemm, and Curtis Sobtafo for their roles in this project.
We also had the amazing opportunity of conducting an interview with
Dr. McNagny, to ask a few questions about the COVID-19 vaccine from a primary source.
Check out the reviews for our first film!
We had an amazing response from respected organizations and individuals in the field of science.
