Was f\u00fcr ein Nervenkitzel, dass der Public Service Announcement (PSA) der Progeria Research Foundation im November zweimal pro Stunde auf dem Astrovision-Fernsehsender am New Yorker Times Square ausgestrahlt wird! Und der Zeitpunkt ist auch fantastisch, denn der Times Square zieht im November riesige Menschenmengen zum Weihnachtseinkauf an.<\/p>\n
Und die Bekanntheit der Arbeit von PRF w\u00e4chst weiter, da PSA vom Ad Council unterst\u00fctzt wird, einer hoch angesehenen Organisation, deren Unterst\u00fctzung als \u201eG\u00fctesiegel\u201c f\u00fcr PSA-Kampagnen gilt. Dies ist eine weitere fantastische Gelegenheit f\u00fcr eine st\u00e4rkere Pr\u00e4senz von PRF, das im PSA-Bulletin des Ad Council f\u00fcr November\/Dezember vorgestellt wird, das an PSA-Direktoren bei 18.000 Medien im ganzen Land verteilt wird.<\/p>\n
Vielen Dank an Spectrum Wissenschaftskommunikation<\/strong> f\u00fcr ihre anhaltenden, erfolgreichen Bem\u00fchungen, das Bewusstsein f\u00fcr Progerie zu sch\u00e4rfen, und die wichtige Arbeit der Progeria Research Foundation.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”3.22″][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.25″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.6.5″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”] What a thrill to have The Progeria Research Foundation\u2019s Public Service Announcement (PSA) air on the Astrovision in New York City\u2019s Times Square twice an hour, every hour during the month of November!
