SistersMaking a Difference During a Pandemic
Alexandra Gobble | Eta Alum Medical Student in Washington "They pulled all medical students out of the clinical rotation. We've come together to babysit kids when parents have to work, to delivery food/groceries and to fill the lab so we can be testing at max capacity."
Emi Jones | Epsilon Alum Hydropower Operations Specialist in Oregon "The weirdest thing about going to work right now is how normal it seems and yet there are social distancing reminders and cleaning supplies everywhere, so I never escape awareness of the pandemic. It creates a surreal feeling of quasi-normalcy while everyone around me is experiencing enormous change; in a way that is comforting but also strangely isolating."
Atisha Morrison | Theta Alum Epidimiologist in Texas "This entire experience has been a whirlwind. While trying to handle the high pressure situations at work, you are also dealing with the stress and fallout in your personal life. I think all of us working in public health, especially epidemiology, are ready to return to some normalcy, but also recognize we have a long way to go before we will return."
