\u201cHow do we develop strategies for controlling infectious diseases such as COVID-19?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cTo help, we built a novel mathematical model that accounts for diversity in social interactions, activities and disease progression and for interventions. Our COVID-19 modeling has far-reaching implications and could help inform efforts to mitigate the impact of the current pandemic and those to come using minimally invasive approaches.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAfter a brain injury, including a concussion, how are kids best supported in school?<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cThese injuries may seem \u2018invisible\u2019 but can persist and lead students to fall behind and struggle socially and with mental health. My lab is identifying the best return-to- school approaches as well as at-home initiatives to support children.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHow can the lived experiences of trans and gender-expansive youth and their music teachers inform music education?<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cThis question ignited a two-year research project. The resulting 2021 book and discourse have inspired teachers from preschool to college to empower marginalized students and provide more inclusive classroom materials and musical choices.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

How is literature affected by the society, culture and politics of its time?<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cNo art is produced in a vacuum. It is shaped by\u2014and can influence\u2014society. I study literature to explore Cuban identity as an unfinished and ongoing process impacted by its contact with other cultures, particularly those of the former socialist bloc after the 1959 revolution.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat are the molecular and genetic mechanisms certain flatworms use to invade, develop and thrive in humans and animals?<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cThese parasites cause schistosomiasis, a devastating disease afflicting more than 200 million impoverished people in developing countries. I\u2019m seeking critical biological information for the development of more effective treatments.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
