@AASully and I are so excited to share this #free educational resource we developed for #teachers and #families preparing their youngest children to get their COVID vaccine!

Thank you @valliofthedolls for the beautiful illustrations!!!

Now that @CDCgov has approved the #CovidVaccine for children under age 5, is your little one ready?

In honor of this milestone, we created a #PictureBook just for them!

Enjoy this free resource to help you talk with your child about COVID and vaccines

If you want a great example of a community org that invites youth and citizens into bioengineering, you have to check out BioJam

Their new article in @ISSUESinST explores how they are breaking down barriers to science engagement and bringing more inclusion into biotech!

[Issues in Science and Technology @ISSUESinST]

The mission of @biojamcamp is to reenvision the future of bioengineering and biodesign—and, in the process, reframe who is a scientist and what science can be. @eco_genome, Rolando Perez, & @CorinneTakara explain:https://t.co/SJBb1bOtHx
