#BreakthroughJuniorChallenge #BreakthroughJuniorChallenge2020

Hello!

I hope you enjoy this video! I found out that this challenge existed about a week before the deadline so this is the product of lots of stress and hard work. This video was created in order to educate the general public about the pandemic impacting us all. I hope what you take from this can change your life for the better and promote good health at a time like this pandemic has created. Hopefully people are encouraged to stay safe and mindful!

A Positive & Encouraging Message:

There are multiple approaches being investigated to treat COVID-19. Thanks to the commitment of researchers and biopharmaceutical leaders and their passion for serving humanity, society will be able to move forward with treatments for the catastrophic disease. It is up to our generation to support science and research in moving clinical development forward as efficiently as possible in order to prevent another potentially devastating global pandemic and save lives.
