The SEED speaker series at RKYHS brings in broad thinking speakers on a wide-range of topics. RKYHS students had the chance to hear at their most recent SEED from Gregory Zuckerman, Wall Street Journal reporter and best-selling author of the book “The Shot to Save the World—The Inside Story of the Life-or-Death Race for a COVID-19 Vaccine.” Zuckerman, a JKHA/RKYHS alumni parent, spoke to students about the research that took place in writing his book. He detailed for students the science behind mRNA vaccines, how the vaccines were developed, the timeline from development to approval and usage, and the years and years of research that took place before the Covid-19 pandemic began. Zuckerman also discussed his role as a business reporter for the Wall Street Journal and working as an Orthodox Jew in the media industry.
