This is my Breakthrough Junior Challenge 2020 entry video. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did when developing it. I hope that through this video I made you know more than you did yesterday! I really did!

My video covers how the extraordinary immune system of bats could be a worthwhile area of research in the fight against COVID- 19 and other lethal zoonotic diseases. From the explanation of how bats developed their super immunity to how worthwhile would be studying them to understand lethal diseases and maybe shift the scope in the development of therapeutical and prevention strategies as well as in the creation of antiviral vaccines. This video gives a thorough but brief insight into how nature could have the answers to our problems, but maybe we have not looked into it enough.

Explicit acknowledgments:

– To my friend Dani, who did not refuse to accompany me under the blazing sun on a Saturday afternoon to shoot some science contest videos after two intense exam weeks. All the shots made possible because of him.

– To Easy GC channel, who is letting me borrow its “Game Over” green screen effect in exchange of an acknowledgment for his/her channel. Thank you very much!
