Infections and defenses

Dear all

Today I invite you to view this  powerpoint presentation that I shared with you via goethemail. It summarizes more or less what we have been talking about infections, immunity and vaccines.

If you want to get more detail, you are invited to view the videos again: Kurzgesagt: the immune system and How do vaccines work?

Of course, nobody expects you to know the colour or shape of the different viruses and bacteria I show you on the slides, it is just to give you and idea about the diversity of the pathogens that cause you diseases.

To close, remember that you have hyperlinks in this text that you can click to see the powerpoint and the two videos.
Good luck and please take some minutes to read and comment the nice post from Mica and Valen about their observations. Congratulations for their engagement! Hope to see interesting posts soon from other members of the year.
