THICKER THAN WATER: JERRY LEUNG’S STEM JOURNEY IN BLOOD AND NANOMEDICINE
Long before he started his education at UBC, Jerry Leung carried a fascination with how the world worked. For each solution that he came across, he had more questions about how it worked and how he could make it even better. That thinking has led him to the field of blood research and medicine on a microscopic level.

UBC EDUCATORS ‘GEERING UP’ FOR ONLINE ENGINEERING SUMMER CAMPS
June 6, 2020
From CTV— One of the missions of Geering Up—the engineering outreach program at the University of British Columbia—is to teach young people about engineering, with the goal of inspiring them to go into the field as adults.
To fulfill that mission, Geering Up has traditionally held summer camps and year-round programs, often meeting people in remote and Indigenous communities in hopes of improving the diversity of the engineering profession.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the organization has been unable to follow that model during the COVID-19 pandemic.
