Aside from standards, this is also a perfect time to teach students about bias in the media, develop listening/speaking/viewing skills, etc. As we're washing our hands, let's also use this as a teachable moment! Have an idea? Share it with Kemp to win a prize!
Finally, we've all seen natural disaster movies (and have real life experiences with natural disasters) where there's always a scientist or expert warning people, but they never listen. If you're interested, check out the Ted Talk given by a global health expert without all of the media/social media noise that can be confusing and misleading. She also discusses the role of equity (or lack thereof) in global health. Take a look!
