SUMMARY:GSJ: How Vaccines Work: They Really Are Good and Safe
DESCRIPTION:How Vaccines Work: They Really Are Good and Safe \nWednesday\, July 23rd\, 7-9 pm \nIn-Person and Streaming \nLocation: Sceptre Brewing Arts\, 630 East Lake Dr\, Suite E\, Decatur\, GA 30030 \nFeatured Speaker: M.G. Finn\, Ph.D \n\n  \nYour immune system exists to defend your body against things that can infect you\, without knowing in advance what those pathogens could be.  How does it do this?  By being Nature’s most effective engine of controlled\, but very fast\, evolution. We take advantage of this ability when we make vaccines\, which have saved more lives than all other medicines combined. Here you will learn how vaccines work\, and how they are evaluated and approved. Have doubts about vaccines? Worried about additives\, or that vaccines might make your children sick or give them autism?  You’re not alone – come and ask questions! \nM.G. FinnFacultySchool of Chemistry and BiochemistryCollege of SciencesGeorgia Institute of TechnologyAtlanta\, Georgia 30332\n  \nSpeaker Name: \nM.G. Finn\, Professor\, School of Chemistry and Biochemistry and School of Biological Sciences\nGeorgia Institute of Technology\nSpeaker Bio: \nM.G. Finn received undergraduate and Ph.D. degrees from Caltech and MIT\, has been a faculty member at the University of Virginia and the Scripps Research Institute\, and was Chair of the School of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Georgia Tech from 2014 to 2024. His laboratory uses new methods in chemistry and biology to develop vaccines against bacterial and parasitic infection\, as well as materials for advanced drug delivery. He is also the Chief Scientific Officer of Georgia Tech’s Pediatric Innovation Network\, which connects scientists and engineers with pediatric hospitals nationwide to solve key problems in healthcare for children.  \nLearn more about M.G.’s work.
