Flu Vaccines & Flu Season
Jennifer Wang, MD
Professor of Medicine
UMass Chan Medical School
"Standard flu vaccines have made an impact, but we've known for years that we could do better, and this is an opportunity. I think this is a really big push forward," said Dr. Wang.
As flu season ramps up, UMass Chan Medical School researcher Jennifer Wang, MD, professor of medicine, is leading local participation in a study to test a new kind of flu vaccine based on modified RNA, or modRNA. Dr. Wang can speak about the research as a principal investigator at UMass Chan and the current state of the flu season.

STEM Education
Dr. David Bell
Director and Associate Dean for Academic Programs
Western Governors University's School of Education
"There are so many ways to teach STEM principles across a variety of subjects and across grade levels. The evolution of this country, its development technologically, the economy, climate, all of these topics easily transfer into building STEM skills at that same time as reading, writing and more, and that includes thinking about engineering and computer science. We need STEM educators to teach and inspire, and we need their students to go out into various roles and careers to solve problems not yet realized."

Climate Change
Steve Meller, PhD
CEO, Founder
CH4 Global
Our planet is in trouble. We are heading for the demise of humanity unless we make some radical changes both in how we live and how we impact greenhouse gases. We know that addressing anthropogenic methane emissions is one of the most critical goals globally, to achieve by 2030, to get greenhouse gas emissions reduced. That's partly because of methane's outsized climate impact in the short term, and because methane emissions have dramatically increased with the last seven years being the warmest on record.
Impact severity of the different types of GHGs - how methane is the only viable solution to save humanity. Animal agriculture & enteric methane challenges. Responsible custodianship of the planet. Solutions for today to reduce GHG while we wait for other technology to catch up.
