COVID-19 continues to be a difficult challenge for all of us, and the significant long-term health impacts of even a single infection continue to be uncovered as we approach the fifth year of the pandemic. In this presentation, we will discuss the science behind the methods we use to reduce the spread of COVID-19 as well as technology that is being developed to reduce and eventually eliminate COVID-19 and prevent future pandemics.
People have often pondered the question of whether we are alone in the universe. More than seeking intelligent life, a fundamental question is whether life of any form exists on other planets or moons.

The answers may also give us understanding of how life came to pass on Earth.
