The Vanderbilt O'Brien Kidney Center (VOKC) is one of the eight NDDK-P30 funded Centers in the United States. The mission of these core-based Centers is to provide technical and conceptual support to enhance and facilitate research in the field of kidney diseases. The goal of the VOKC is to provide support to understand mechanisms and identify potential therapies for acute and chronic kidney disease. The services provided by the VOKC are meant to help the scientific community to have the right support and tools as well as to select the right animal model, statistical analysis, and clinical study design to perform innovative research and translate discoveries into personalized care to prevent, diagnose and cure kidney disease. To achieve these goals, the VCKD has in place a program to foster collaborative investigation into critical questions of kidney disease; to personalize diagnosis and treatment of kidney disease; and to disseminate information about kidney disease and the benefits of the VOKC services and research. The Center is complemented by state-of-the art Cores and an Education and Outreach program whose goals are to provide an educational platform to enhance the study of kidney disease; to publicize information about services available through the VOKC; and to provide information about kidney disease to patients and other interested members of the community. In this review we highlight the major services and contributions of the VOKC.

Galaxy Forum is an education and outreach program sponsored by ILOA, an interglobal enterprise incorporated in Hawaii as a non-profit organization to expand human knowledge of the Cosmos through observation from our Moon and to participate in internationally cooperative lunar base build-out.As a IAU-367 associated event, Galaxy Forum featured comments by Dr. Beatriz Garcia and presentations by ILOA Director Steve Durst (ILOA Hawai’i, USA), Marcelo Colazo (CONAE, Argentina); César Gonzalez García (CSIC, Spain); Li Geng (NAOC, China); Santiago Paolantonio (Córdoba Observatory, Argentina) and Margarita Safonova (IIA, India). In this contribution, the overview of the contributions permits an approach to the GF interests.

<p>In the last year, the world experimented a world crisis that changed the approach to science communication and the needs of the worldwide audiences. EduINAF, the online monthly magazine of the National Institute for Astrophysics, dedicated in Italy to science education and public outreach, reacted to this pandemic undergoing a process of deep restructuring that led to new, effective forms and approaches to science communication, education and outreach.<br /><br />In this talk we will analyze EduINAF's last year of activity, showing the increase in online readers and analyzing them in detail, focusing on the substantial changes in their requests, expectations and reactions due to lockdown and to a changed school and society.<br />We will also present and analyze some of the innovative and interactive educational initiatives and tools and new editorial contents that have been proposed as an opportunity for this changing world and that we will continue to use in the future. </p> <p>In this presentation we will present the online archive of thematic online educational resources that was born with pandemic and that now hosts more than 200 resources. We will describe in detail the competitions and collaborative online calls to readers that, in the last year, have seen the participation of thousands of wanna-be astronomers, poets and artists from our audience. We will focus on innovation in education, both talking about innovative approaches to education and about innovative technical solutions and tools, such as Virtual Reality and how it can be used in astronomy education. Finally, we will also introduce INAF Online Labs, the outreach hands-on laboratories that were born in EduINAF as an answer to online Science Festivals.<br />Many of the tools and initiatives introduced in this talk will be presented more in deep in related talks at EPSC 2021.</p>
