Viruses & How to Beat Them: Cells, Immunity, Vaccines

Have you ever been curious about the nature of viruses? Have you ever wondered how they infiltrate your bodies, damage your cells, and make you ill? Come learn about the components of viruses and the ways through which they hijack and take over our cells.

No prior knowledge of science is required; simply bring your inquisitive mind! Cells, which are remarkable molecular machines, make up your bodies. Surprisingly, these little parasites made up of proteins and genes - viruses - may take over and inflict major harm to our systems. This course will show you, step by step, how our bodies' cells function to keep us healthy. They then investigate the enormous kingdom of viruses, particularly those responsible for epidemics such as the flu, AIDS, and Ebola. Finally, the course will go into our immune system, how it recognizes "enemy," and how it combats them.

The lectures have been meticulously crafted to properly explain fundamental Cell Biology, Virology, and Immunology in layman's terms while maintaining scientific accuracy. You'll take part in a thorough examination of the architecture and functions of our cells. You'll discover how viruses multiply and our immune system defends us against sickness, as well as how scientists explore these issues.

You'll see live demonstrations of how cells and viruses are produced and researched in the lab. You will encounter top specialists and scientists throughout the course, some of whom have been awarded the Nobel Prize for their discoveries and contributions to Chemistry and Medicine. You'll learn intriguing and understandable information that's also useful. Our objective is to provide you with a thorough understanding of how vaccinations function so that you may make better vaccine-related decisions for yourself and your family.

What you'll learn:

• The makeup of cell structures (organelles) and their functions;
• What happens to our body when it is infected by viruses;
• How our Immune System operates to protect us;
• The pros and cons of vaccination.
