07-09-19 S Goodfellow Who is snooping your PC activity? D. Wind Vaccines—Calling the Shots

07/09/19

Welcome to SciTechNature get-togethers

| Intros | Science Book Club | Links |

Short Presentation

Stephen Goodfellow:

"..."Everybody's got something to hide except for me and my monkey." But is that really so? Who's snooping and how to stop them."

Feature Presentation

Doug Wind:

"Diseases that were largely eradicated in the United States a generation ago—whooping cough, measles, mumps—are returning, in part because nervous parents are skipping their children's shots. NOVA's "Vaccines—Calling the Shots" takes viewers around the world to track epidemics, explore the science behind vaccinations, hear from parents wrestling with vaccine-related questions, and shed light on the risks of opting out."
