We knew Brandon was a star, but now he’s officially a star among stars! We have the ⭐ STAR Award ⭐ to prove it. California Association of Public Information Officials (CAPIO) and the National Association of Telecommunications Officers awarded County of Santa Clara Public Health Department 🥇 1st place 🥇 for the video series “Brandon in the Lab” in the Health-Public/Mental category. This is the award for the very best of the best videos from government agencies all across the states of California and Nevada. Are we really all that surprised after seeing the entertaining and educational series Oscar Arguello put together with Brandon and his team? The series features a behind the scenes look at the Public Health lab and features expert Brandon Bonin, Director of the Public Health Laboratory. It’s quick, funny, nerdy, and very science-y. And people seem to love it! Each episode focuses on a different topic, including pathogens, genomic sequencing and the importance of personal protective equipment (PPE) and bio protection.
