Welcome to the team, Tiffany! Looking forward to sharing the results of our past several months of work listening to the experiences of Black and Latinx Michigan residents during the pandemic. Stay tuned for papers hot off the press!
Thank you to @FernandaLCross and the rest of the research group for welcoming me on their team! We are developing a manuscript focused on the experiences of Black and Latinx individuals residing in some of the hardest hit areas of Michigan during the pandemic. Exciting work!
