The TikTok Biology.UNC study is an educational study to assess students' views of the importance of science communication to the general public through a social media platform. Students enrolled in BIOL 101H.001 or BIOL 205.007 in the fall of 2021 will be creating TikTok videos as a required class assignment. Students will be asked to respond to surveys at the start and end of the semester, as well as after submission of each TikTok assignment, to gauge their views on the importance of communicating science to the general public.

The purpose of this research study is to assess the patient-level, healthcare provider/system-level, and community-level barriers to resolving abnormal mammograms and initiation of treatment of breast cancer in the 3 geographic regions of North Carolina: the greater Charlotte area, the Northwest, and the Northeast. These areas include the following counties: Anson, Cabarrus, Cleveland, Gaston, Lincoln, Mecklenburg, Stanly, Union, Edgecombe, Halifax, Nash, Northampton, Wilson , Ashe, Alleghany, Surry, Stokes, Watauga, Wilkes, Yadkin, Forsyth, Avery, Caldwell, Alexander, Iredell, Davie, Davidson, Burke, Catawba, and Rowan. These barriers can include obtainment of biopsies and other diagnostic procedures for resolving abnormal mammograms abnormalities or breast symptoms, access to care providers after breast cancer diagnosis, and initiation of appropriate surgical, chemotherapy, and radiation treatments after diagnosis.

You are being asked to take part in this study because you previously agreed to receive a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved drug, idecabtagene vicleucel (ide-cel), for the treatment of your disease as part of routine care and not a clinical research study. You had the blood collection (leukapheresis) (pronounced loo-ka-fer-ee-sis) procedure, your T cells (a subset of your white blood cells that are part of your immune system and attack things like infections and cancer cells) were collected and genetically modified in a laboratory in order to manufacture the ide-cel T cells for your disease treatment. The ide-cel T cells that were produced do not meet all of the prespecified release criteria to be used as a routine prescription drug as required by the governing health authority (such as the FDA) where you are being treated. For example, the modified T cells may have a lower cell

The purpose of this study is to lay the groundwork for a pragmatic trial and real-world implementation of Mouth Care Without a Battle (MCWB) for assisted living (AL) residents with dementia and their caregivers. The aims are to refine MCWB for AL, and examine research efficacy (working with a research dental hygienist) and real-world efficacy (working with community public health dental hygienists) to train personal care aides in 48 AL communities across North Carolina to provide mouth care.
