“I can't express enough what a great opportunity this was for my students. [The lesson was] truly inspirational and my students learned about a topic that is relevant to their lives. In addition to learning about COVID-19, students learned about mutations, genetics, and environmental impacts. This lesson came at the beginning of our genetics unit and it will be a great talking point in class. The One Health team broke down difficult topics in a way that was easily understandable for middle school students. Overall it was a truly amazing experience and I would recommend it to anyone!”
