Please join us for our annual Science Fair and Becker Science Center Program.

Becker Science Center Program for Middle School students and adults presented by Amir Genosar on the topic of "Vaccines: Challenge, Innovation and Complexity in the Current Environment." Genosar is a mechanical engineer trained at Israel's prestigious Technion and a disposable medical equipment inventor who, along with his then 11-year-old daughter, invented a low-cost pre-filled disposable syringe to help improve immunization safety and reduce vaccine waste in resource poor settings.

Dr. Lauren Meyers, AJA parent and expert in the field of infectious diseases, will also speak about H1N1 as part of this program.

We look forward to seeing everyone there!
