Responding to COVID-19: A Ground-Zero Perspective from Washington’s Life Science Community
April 23, 2020 - 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Life Science Washington and the University of Washington have teamed up to share stories and perspectives from scientists, researchers, and policymakers about the COVID-19 response.
This webinar, moderated by Luke Timmerman, will explore how Washington institutions are partnering with public health officials to lower our regional pandemic curve. The Seattle region was the epicenter of the COVID-19 virus and therefore first to address the crisis both through our life science research institutions and public policy.
Luke Timmerman is an award-winning journalist who has been covering biotechnology since 2001. Before founding Timmerman Report in 2015, Luke wrote about the industry for a regional newspaper (The Seattle Times), a global financial publication (Bloomberg News), and an online startup (Xconomy). Luke’s first book, “Hood: Trailblazer of the Genomics Age” was called a “must-read” by Forbes, and named one of the “100 Best Indie Books of 2017” by Kirkus Reviews.
Luke was named one of the 100 Most Influential People in Biotechnology by Scientific American in 2015. He has won a number of journalism prizes, including the Scripps Howard National Journalism Award, the Association of Health Care Journalists Award, and the Society of American Business Editors and Writers (SABEW) award. Luke received his bachelor’s degree in journalism from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1997. For the 2005-2006 academic year, he was awarded a Knight Science Journalism Fellow at MIT.
