Such a great experience! Congrats to all the fabulously talented students!

This puts a pit in my stomach. No time for mandatory evacuations. Many will shelter in place. LA hospitals at “breaking point” with COVID surge. Put another way, we are still no better prepared for a disaster in the middle of a pandemic. Hoping Ida isn’t as bad as she looks 🙏🏻

Excited to work with Robyn Gershon and @Rpiltchloeb and partner with TWU Local 100 on this new study

Fabulous qualitative study led by our newest nyupublichealth PhD student Katie Lynch
