An interesting opportunity for young people to collaborate with OUCRU

Collab Lab is a project of the Youth Science Ambassadors (YSAs) in collaboration with leading scientists from OUCRU and several universities in Ho Chi Minh City. The project aims to “normalise” scientific research on global health threats, such as infectious diseases, antibiotic resistance, and mental health, to name a few. Through this project, researchers at OUCRU and universities hope to create a space that stimulates the curiosity and desire to learn more about interesting scientific topics among young people across Vietnam.

To reach more young people from diverse academic backgrounds, Collab Lab 2023 will provide opportunities for many to join the creative team to do magic work, turning unfamiliar scientific topics into engaging animated video content that brings useful health knowledge closer to young people.

If you:

  • Are interested in science and want to spread the value of research to the community 
  • Want to work with scientists at OUCRU and universities in Ho Chi Minh City 
  • Want to learn more about public and community engagement 
  • Want to improve useful skills like graphic design, video editing, and digital marketing in the unique context of scientific research You will be able to challenge yourself in summarising published scientific research and reproduce that content into a language that is friendly to the wider public.

Join the OUCRU’s Youth Science Ambassadors and become a multi-task video publisher, taking on everything from research to content creation and graphic design. You can also experience the working environment at OUCRU, contributing to promoting the participation of Vietnamese youth in useful research!

The Ultimate Prevention: Vaccine Status

What if the volunteer leader had checked everyone’s Tetanus vaccination status before leaving for the field trip?

Vaccination Changes Everything

  • 100% Preventable: As you can see from our play, Tetanus cannot be cured easily once symptoms start and can be costly. But it is almost completely preventable with regular vaccination.
  • 10-Year Rule: Adults need a Tetanus booster shot every 10 years to maintain immunity.
  • Early booster shot: If you receive a deep or dirty cut (such as in the play, one from a rusty tool), you may need a booster if your last shot was more than 5 years ago.

When was your last Tetanus shot? Check your records today — a simple booster is the ultimate protection against unexpected accidents.

Life-saving intervention! Jaw stiffness (lockjaw) is a classic symptom of active Tetanus toxin. Immediate hospital admission is required to secure the airway and control muscle spasms.

Good call! Healthcare providers depend on the full context. Clearly stating that an injury involved rusted metal alerts the nurse to assess Tetanus exposure immediately.

Spot on! Social media content often promotes unverified advice that delays crucial medical intervention. Deep, dirty cuts always require professional evaluation within hours.

Smart choice! Clostridium tetani bacteria thrive in organic material like dirt and leaves. Keeping raw plants out of deep cuts prevents pushing bacterial spores deeper into tissue.

Great call! By stopping work with high-risk, corroded tools, you removed the physical source of Tetanus exposure entirely before an injury could even happen.
