ISB is participating in The Seattle Foundation’s sixth annual GiveBIG day on May 3! And, this year, you can schedule your gift in advance.
GiveBIG is an annual, community-wide day of giving hosted by The Seattle Foundation that aims to inspire regional philanthropy. Between midnight and midnight (PST) on May 3rd, The Seattle Foundation and its generous sponsors will match a percentage of all contributions to local nonprofits. GiveBIG 2015 raised $16.3 million for the Greater Seattle community, including $1.9 million in bonus dollars!
If you are considering a gift to ISB in 2016, the GiveBIG campaign will be an opportunity to further the impact of your investment in the future of human health. Together, we can make an impact.
Christopher Lausted and Dr. Danielle Vermaak were featured guests of an ISB Research Roundtable presentation. The husband-and-wife team detailed the planning and rollout of a DNA sequencing curriculum project that was tested in Vermaak’s Lincoln High School science classroom in Seattle.
A just-published study provides new information about which hospitalized COVID-19 patients are most likely to need mechanical ventilation or to die. The ISB-led work shows that vital signs and lab results at the time of hospital admission are the most accurate predictors of disease severity, more so than comorbidities and demographics.
Researchers have identified several factors that can be measured at the initial point of COVID-19 diagnosis that anticipate if a patient is likely to develop long COVID. They also found that mild cases of COVID-19, not just severe cases, are associated with long COVID. Their findings were published by the journal Cell.
