Anthropology graduate students are exploring how we feel in a pandemic, creating a historical archive to document their feelings and categorize themes they see emerging during the coronavirus pandemic.
David Bortz is a member of Colorado's COVID-19 Modeling Team, a group of researchers from across the state who have assembled to get in front of the coronavirus.
Students are sleeping about a half-hour more each night and keeping more regular sleep hours. That's positive news, said study authors, as sleep is key to maintaining overall health, including a robust immune system that can fight off viruses.
A mental health crisis has begun, as social isolation from the coronavirus and loss of jobs, income and loved ones have left people reeling. Assistant Professor June Gruber and a colleague share on The Conversation.
Issues in vulnerable communities—including a lack of reliable access to internet or home computers, food and housing insecurity, and digital privacy concerns—have been highlighted by the pandemic.
The response to COVID-19 suggests how we can leverage entrepreneurial approaches to climate change. Associate Professor Jeffrey York shares on The Conversation.
