Beschreibung

Key Selling Points

  • Covers STEM topics, including the history, biology, evolution and effects of viruses and vaccine development.
  • The book discusses misinformation, mental biases and how to think critically about information found online (or elsewhere). It challenges young readers to think about social and ethical responsibility when it comes to vaccination, and their responsibilities as individuals and members of a larger community.
  • COVID-19 and the race to develop a vaccine for it put the topic of vaccines, vaccine mandates and vaccine hesitancy in the spotlight.
  • The book includes career profiles of professionals in the field, such as a doctor, a nurse, a medical historian, an epidemiologist, a medical ethicist, an IT specialist and others. One profile is of two young people who volunteer with a nonprofit focused on training youth to become vaccine ambassadors in their schools and communities.
  • The author is a biologist and science writer, and her mother was an infectious diseases doctor.
