While everyone was cramming to study for their upcoming final exams during dead week, it was time for Team HBV to host their annual Panda Express Fundraiser, which was on the 6th day of December, at Tressider. When the customers present the flyer, Panda donates 20% their proceeds to Team HBV, who then donates it to the Myanmar Liver Foundation. As a bonus incentive, Team HBV gave donuts to the customers who presented their flyers. The customers must have felt good knowing that their meal would help save lives across the globe!

On Saturday and Sunday mornings, our Team HBV members welcomed local high school students to Stanford with an informative yet intriguing lecture about hepatitis B. The members started off by answering the question "What is Hepatitis B?" by describing the immunology behind the disease with diagrams depicting how T-cells and macrophages work together to destroy the virus. The latter half of the presentation focused more on raising awareness for Hep B, by showing the diseases' prevalence throughout the world and strategies (the 5G's!) everyone should take to decrease their likelihood of contracting Hep B. The event concluded in a standoff between two teams of high schoolers showing off what they have learned about Hep B in an intense game of Jeopardy (while munching on Snicker bars and Reeses cups)!
