Below are comments from individuals who attended the seminar:

  • "I enjoyed how understandable Dr. Bob was. When he explained what it was that we were looking at, I could understand and follow along even though I am mostly a physics teacher."
  • "I learned about the different tests that are available/will be available which will be an interesting way for me to bring this into the classroom. Testing is something the students will find approachable and have them doing data analysis at the same time."
  • "I learned more about the vaccine development process. I did not know that mumps vaccine holds the record for the fastest development."
  • "I most appreciated learning about the parts that talked about the nature of the virus, the nucleotides, and proteins and how they relate to the testing."
  • "This was a very informative and well run seminar. The presenters did a very good job at responding to questions as they were posed in the chat and also staying on topic and time schedule."

A certificate of attendance was deposited into participants' account page for completing the evaluation form at the end of the program.
