Authors: Bonnie Lee (PhD student, WHRC Trainee Member) and Liisa A.M. Galea (PhD, WHRC Lead) // The advancement in scientific knowledge is astounding to watch. The pace of science is expanding, and it is sometimes difficult to keep up with our changing world. One example of the fast pace of scientific research has been getting several vaccines for COVID-19 in such a short period of time. Who would have believed that we could have so many great options in less than a year? Why we are so far ahead in these discoveries is largely due to scientific research. Thankfully, many researchers have been studying things like bat coronaviruses and the efficacy of mRNA vaccines for many years.
