Hi everyone,

This Friday (April 17^th) from 15:00 – 16:00 we will have another exciting online lab meeting! Shana Gadarian (Syracuse University, Political Science) will give a talk on anxiety and politics. She will also talk about the geography of COVID-19 and individual health behavior. You can find some recent work on this here: https://tompepinsky.com/2020/03/29/the-geography-of-covid-19-and-individual-health-behavior/
