En esta charla, la Dra. Greisha Ortiz Hernández, investigadora traslacional, hablará de su experiencia en el laboratorio, sus colaboraciones y la interacción con la comunidad. El núcleo de su charla será sobre su trabajo investigativo con el cáncer de próstata en grupos minoritarios.
El empoderamiento que experimentamos cuando nos realizamos una manicura o pedicura es innegable. Hace 10 años las uñas de gel llegaron a desplazar el acrílico en los salones de belleza. La palabra “gel” se refería, en sus inicios, al estado físico del producto para las uñas, pero ahora se usa el término para describir la técnica. Una de las ventajas de este producto es la facilidad con que se “curan” las uñas en una lámpara con luz ultravioleta (UV). Sin embargo, la luz UV es un reconocido mutágeno que contribuye a malignidades cutáneas. Por consiguiente, existe una posibilidad de desarrollar cáncer por esta exposición y definitivamente, esto nos compete a todos.
More than 3 billion people around the world remain unvaccinated, in part because of vaccine hoarding by wealthy nations like the U.S. Beyond the coronavirus’ biology, the main reason COVID-19 continues to rage is such failures of solidarity – in government, public policy, messaging, and civic society.
"It was an accumulation of many things that lead one to find oneself in that black hole where one falls." This is how Juan Ortiz described his battle against depression during the COVID-19 pandemic. "The thing is that you are slowly falling and you don't realize that you are there," he added.
To inspire confidence in COVID-19 vaccines and promote vaccination as an act of solidarity, the non-profit organization Ciencia Puerto Rico (CienciaPR) has just launched the second public service campaign of the "Aquí Nos Cuidamos Toolkit" under the theme, "Vacúnate, por ti y por mí" (Get vaccinated, for you and for me). This effort coincides with the World Immunization Week declared by the World Health Organization and celebrated from April 25 to May 1 this year.
To continue promoting education for the prevention of the coronavirus that causes COVID-19, the non-profit organization Ciencia Puerto Rico (CienciaPR) developed the "Aquí Nos Cuidamos Toolkit" or #AquiNosCuidamosPR. It consists of four public service campaigns with free informational and educational resources.
