At our March 2, 2021 online forum, University of Maine Associate Professor Melissa Maginnis explained COVID-19 as a virus: what it is, how it works, and why it’s been so effective in causing a pandemic.

Thanks to our online forum sponsors the BioScience Association of Maine and The Jackson Laboratory, and media sponsor Maine Public for supporting the Maine Science Festival and these forums.
