COVID-19

As a science journalist living in a remote, small town, I am thankful for the safety and outdoor opportunities provided for my young kids, for ongoing work, and for the support of my husband in home-schooling our children. My usual area of expertise is more in environmental sciences than health sciences, but I am attempting to contribute to the world's stockpile of good information in these uncertain times. Here are my COVID-19 related articles:

• PostEra points its synthesis algorithm at coronavirus (Chem World)
  
• How COVID-19 is Changing Cold and Flu Season (Nature)
• How coronavirus lockdowns stopped flu in its tracks (Nature)
• How to Beat a Pandemic (Medium)
• Pandemic, Nuclear Accident...What's Next? (Medium)
  

SAPIENS, the online anthropology magazine, is publishing commentaries by working academics relating to the ongoing crisis. Here are a few of the pieces I edited:

• What Makes Vaccines Social (how to encourage vaccination rates)
  
• Are Pandemics Good for the Environment?
• The Dead Must Be Counted
  
• Gasping for Air in the Time of COVID-19 
• Will "Faith Not Fear" Spread the Coronavirus?
• Coronavirus and Coping With Death

Hakai Magazine, an online marine sciences publication that I sometimes write for, has teamed up with the Tyee to publish COVID-19 related content. Here are the articles I have written for them:

• COVID-19 Treatments? BC Scientists Are Hot on the Case
• INFOGRAPHICS: How BC’s Medical Resources Stack Up
• The Cracks in Tourist Towns 
• The bottom line: we are saving millions of lives
