• This teaching resource explains the work of Dr Kristina Ames, at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York, USA, who has been investigating why blood production problems occur and has discovered a potential treatment that could restore the function of blood production cells.
• This resource also contains an interview with Kristina. If you or your students have a question for her, you can submit it online – go to the article using the Futurum link below and scroll to the bottom of the page. Kristina will reply!
• The activity sheet provides ‘talking points’ (based on Bloom’s Taxonomy) to prompt students to reflect on Kristina’s research, and tasks them to examine the structure of cells.
• The animation covers the main points of Kristina’s research and is accompanied by a script.

This resource was first published on Futurum Careers, a free online resource and magazine aimed at encouraging 14-19-year-olds worldwide to pursue careers in science, tech, engineering, maths, medicine (STEM) and social sciences, humanities and the arts for people and the economy (SHAPE).
