Remembering Polio
Polio, or poliomyelitis, is an infectious viral disease that can strike at any age and affects a person’s nervous system. In the late 1940s to the early 1950s, polio crippled an average of more than 35,000 people in the United States each year; it was one of the most feared diseases of the twentieth century. Thanks to the polio vaccine, dedicated health care professionals, and parents who vaccinate their children on schedule, polio has been eliminated in this country for more than 30 years. (Source: CDC) Today the US is home to approximately 1 million polio survivors. Join our panelists in a look at what polio was, the impacts polio has on Americans today, and the importance of vaccinations in our ever shrinking world.Moderator: Gapar Laca, State Government Affairs Director at GlaxoSmithKlinePanelists: David Larwood, CEO, President – Valley Fever Solutions, Debbie McCune Davis, Executive Director, The Arizona Partnership for Immunization (TAPI)

10/13/20172018 Arizona Bioscience Educator of the Year - Carol Bender, MSSS
Carol Bender is a University Distinguished Outreach Professor and founding/current director of the Undergraduate Biology Research Program (UBRP) at the University of Arizona. In this capacity, Bender leads the development and assessment of programs that produce students who are well prepared to enter graduate and professional degree programs that lead to careers in biomedical research and health careers. Inspired by the ideas of the late Michael A. Wells, PhD, Regents’ Professor of Biochemistry at the UA, Professor Bender was at the forefront of the movement to get undergraduates out of the classroom and into apprentice-style research lab experiences before this concept was popular or its impact well understood, particularly in STEM fields where it is imperative that professionals work together on issues facing humankind.
