The VR Public Health Way

Our amazing interns at the studio—Vana, a Biological Sciences and Public Health major, and Cindy, a Public Health major—have created a Public Health VR Playlist to showcase, in their own words…

“How diverse and all-encompassing the science and art of it is, there is so much to learn and explore. Virtual reality provides an immersive and interactive way to engage in some of the areas of public health, and gain a deeper understanding and appreciation for them. We welcome you to join in on the fun, and simultaneous learning by exploring a curated playlist of relevant public health VR experiences. You won't want to miss out!”

Vana and Cindy have done an amazing job putting this playlist together, and we encourage everyone—public health major or not—to come give it a try!
