July is National UV Safety Month, which was established to educate Americans about the negative health effects of ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun and promote safe sun practices. UV rays are invisible light waves produced by the sun that can cause damage like sunburn, premature skin aging, and skin cancer. To protect against overexposure, experts recommend seeking shade, wearing sunscreen and protective clothing, and wearing sunglasses when out in the sun. Sun protection is important year-round, not just in the summer, to prevent health risks from overexposure to UV rays.
Ultraviolet (UV) rays are an invisible form
of radiation. They can penetrate your skin and damage your skin cells. Sunburns
are a sign of skin damage. Suntans aren't healthy, either. They appear after
the sun's rays have already killed some cells and damaged others. UV rays can
cause skin damage during any season or at any temperature. They can also cause
eye problems, wrinkles, skin spots, and skin cancer.
To protect yourself:
-- Stay out of the sun when it is strongest
(between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.)
-- Use sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher
-- Wear protective clothing
-- Wear wraparound sunglasses that provide 100
percent UV ray protection
-- Avoid sunlamps and tanning beds
Check your skin regularly for changes in
the size, shape, color or feel of birthmarks, moles and spots. Such changes are
a sign of skin cancer.

Natural disasters are major changes in the Earth that can cause damage through volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, cyclones, avalanches, floods, droughts, and forest or bush fires. Volcanic eruptions occur when gases and molten rock burst through the Earth's crust. Earthquakes happen as tectonic plates shift, releasing shock waves. Cyclones are fierce, spinning storms with high winds that can uproot trees and damage buildings.
Physical weathering breaks down rock through mechanical means such as water, wind, heat and freezing. Chemical weathering decomposes and dissolves rock through chemical reactions, such as acid rain interacting with rock surfaces. Biological weathering is caused by living organisms like plants and burrowing animals that contribute to both mechanical and chemical weathering through processes like wedging cracks open and allowing water penetration into rock.

Four main processes shape soil formation: additions, losses, translocations, and transformations. Additions include water, minerals, organic matter, and nutrients from sources like rain, dust, animal waste, and fertilizer. Losses occur through evaporation, erosion, and leaching of water, particles, organic matter, and nutrients. Translocations involve the movement of components within the soil by gravity, evaporation, and organisms. Transformations change one component into another through processes like decomposition of leaves into humus or weathering of rock into clay. Over time, these ongoing processes significantly alter the composition and appearance of soil from its original parent material.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

Ask students to look at the pictures and come up with a definition for the word “ SunWise ” . You may chart the responses and keep posted for later reference. Tell students that they are going to receive more information about SunWise and that you will revisit the definitions later.
Ask the question and give student time to think about an answer. You might have them talk to a neighbor to generate ideas. After sufficient wait time move to the next slide. Ask students to share their ideas about the sun.
Give students ample time to generate ideas. Listen to all student responses and then let the students know that you have pictures of a few things that show what we know about what our sun can do. Continue to move the slides forward until all four examples are on the screen. Ask students to look at the four pictures that you have selected and to put then into two categories. After students have shared their ideas for categories, move to the next slide…helpful and harmful…and ask students why you have selected these categories, fill in any background information for students for them to understand why the sunburn and wrinkles are not good for our skin (for background information go to the SunWise web site: http://www.epa.gov/sunwise/uvandhealth2.html).
Note: Mouse click once to start the automatic listing of “ helpful ” effects. Mouse click again to start the automatic listing of “ harmful ” effects. After the list of “ helpful ” effects are displayed, provide a deeper understanding and explanation of the different effects. Do the same for the “ harmful ” effects after they are displayed. Dialogue with the students the impact these effects have on their lives.
Summarize information about the sun… For additional information go to the SunWise website (www.epa.gov/sunwise) or the SunWise kid pages (www.epa.gov/sunwise/kids.html)
Point out that the sun also produces ultraviolet radiation that can be potentially harmful to us. Stress (as much as possible for this age group) that it is ultraviolet (UV) radiation, not the light or warmth that causes the harmful effects. For additional information about UV radiation go to the SunWise website (www.epa.gov/sunwise/uvradiation.html)
This video clip is the first half of the SunWise Sun Safety Program video. It outlines sun safe behaviors to prevent long-term illness and illustrates the historical context in which Americans developed risky sun behaviors. The video clip runtime is: 6 minutes 45 seconds. After viewing the video clip, discuss with the students what they learned. Ask what insights, reactions, or thoughts do they have? Answer and/or clarify the students questions and misconceptions.
Review with the students what the Ozone Layer is and what happens when UV radiation reaches the Earth. For additional information about the Ozone Layer go to the SunWise website (www.epa.gov/sunwise/kids/kids_ozone.html)
(General UV information: http://www.epa.gov/sunwise/uvindex.html) Give students example of each variable that fits with their experiences such as: Time of day: early morning vs. late at night (Note: Remember the shadow rule: Watch Your Shadow. No Shadow, Seek Shade! Time of year: summer vs. winter Latitude: near the equator vs. higher latitudes Altitude: in the mountains Weather: cloudy vs. clear Reflection: snow and water Stratospheric Ozone: is thinning and offering less protection against harmful UV rays (Until recently, chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) were used widely in industry and elsewhere as refrigerants, insulating foams, and solvents. When CFCs break down in the stratosphere, they release chlorine, which attacks ozone. http://www.epa.gov/sunwise/ozonelayer.html) Information on the UV Index and why it varies: http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/stratosphere/uv_index/uv_information.html
This video further describes UV radiation and its impact. This video clip runtime is: 2 minutes 30 seconds. For additional information about UV radiation and the UV index go to the SunWise website (http://www.epa.gov/sunwise/kids/kids_uvindex.html)
The UV Index is a prediction (based on a mathematical equation http://www.epa.gov/sunwise/uvcalc.html) of the UV level at noon. It can be used as a tool (much like a thermometer is a tool for temperature) for reminding people how to protect themselves from overexposure to UV radiation. The higher the UV Index level, the greater the possibility of damage to the skin and eyes in less time. Ask students to think back to the pictures of people being SunWise you used when asking them to form a definition. What were some of the ways that people were taking special care to protect themselves from the UV radiation levels? Students should remember the use of sunglasses, wide brimmed hats and clothing. For additional information about the UV Index go to the SunWise website (www.epa.gov/sunwise/uvwhat.html)
(The Burning Facts information: http://www.epa.gov/sunwise/doc/sunscreen.pdf) Convey to the students that although the sun is necessary for life, too much sun exposure can lead to adverse health effects, including skin cancer. It is estimated that 90 percent of non-melanoma skin cancers and 65 percent of melanoma skin cancers are associated with exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. Inform the students that there is no such thing as a healthy suntan. Any change in your natural skin color is a sign of skin damage. Review with the students that there are two types of UV radiation that can affect the skin UVA and UVB. UVA rays penetrate deep into the skin and heavily contribute to premature aging. UVB rays are the primary cause of sunburn. Skin type affects the degree to which some people burn and the time it takes them to burn. The FDA classifies skin type on a scale of 1 to 6. Individuals with lower number skin types (1 and 2) have fair skin and tend to burn. Individuals with higher number skin types (5 and 6), though capable of burning, have darker skin and do not burn as easily. Sunscreens protect our skin by absorbing and/or reflecting UVA and UVB rays. The FDA requires that all sunscreens contain a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) label. Sunscreens with a SPF of at least 15 are recommended. Sunscreen of 30 is not twice as protective as an SPF of 15; rather and SPF of 15 protects the skin from 93% of UVB radiation, and an SPF of 30 provides 97% protection.
The following nine slides outline the action steps everyone should follow to help being over exposed to UV radiation. Tell the students that while some exposure to sunlight can be enjoyable, too much can be dangerous. The good news is that you can prevent UV radiation from hurting you. You need to practice good sun habits while you are young. You should stay sun-safe all of your life.
Stress to the students that by following a number of simple steps they can still enjoy their time in the sun while protecting themselves from overexposure. Other than staying indoors, no single step can fully protect from overexposure to UV radiation, so they should use as many of the actions steps as possible. Review with them the following action steps. Discuss each step to further clarify and deepen their understanding of the importance of each step.
Ask students if they feel that they are SunWise and if not what more could they do to become SunWise. Have students brainstorm on how this might happen. Use the next four true/ false questions as a formative evaluation tool to check for understanding.
Ask the students to summarize what they learned. What did they learn? What action steps can they take to reduce overexposure to UV radiation? How can they change their outdoor sun behaviors? What else would they like to know about sun safe practices and behaviors?
