@AlisonFeder @PLOSPathogens Really enjoyed working with you guys on this project 😎

Thank you @MayoClinic for featuring our work :D

@Liviviridae Hi Liv, apply to mayo clinic. I have been on the admission committee and we don't care as much about gpa or gre score. Research experience is the top thing we look for 😊

Mental health crisis in graduate school is real! In our single center longitudinal study, we assess a range of overall well-being measures in student population before and after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

While abortion remains legal in Minnesota, Minnesota's neighboring states are expected to severely restrict reproductive freedom.

That’s why I signed an Executive Order to help protect people seeking or providing abortions in Minnesota from legal repercussions in other states.
