• What did you learn about the research area your chosen scientist studies?
• What did you learn about the types of people who do science?
• What new questions do you have after reading about this scientist?
• How did learning about this scientist make you feel about science?

Dr. Corbett is an assistant professor of
Immunology and Infectious Diseases at Harvard.
An assistant professor is a full-time employee who leads a research lab, teaches courses to graduate students and/or undergraduate students, and participates in University and Department service. Over a period of 4+ years, an assistant professor is routinely evaluated by their peers, and can at the end be granted tenure if they have significantly contributed to their institution. Professors with tenure have more job stability and freedom, but also take on additional service responsibilities within their departments and universities. Dr. Corbett led a research group at Moderna that developed an mRNA vaccine against COVID-19. Read or watch any of the resources linked that you like.
