COVID-19 Response: Faculty Research and Pivoting

FESCH.TV INFORMIERT:

Faculty members speak about the impact that COVID-19 has had on their research.
Professor Miriam Rossi and her husband, Francesco Caruso, collaborated this year with two Italian chemists in an analysis of a plant-based compound that they determined could help in the treatment of COVID-19. And it was the travel ban triggered by the pandemic itself that provided the four scientists with the opportunity to conduct their research.

The research that Catherine Tan has done with her colleague Dr. Janani Umamheswar (George Mason University) examines perceived risk and experiences with confinement during the COVID-19 pandemic.
