COVID-19 Information from the front line

The Link: https://vimeo.com/399733860

Fear is the easiest but perhaps the most destructive and power draining emotion surrounding the threat of the current viral pandemic. In my opinion, knowledge may be the best medicine, both for prevention and for personal and family protection. The media and politicians seem to cherry-pick the information they emphasize. Over the weekend a friend sent me a video from an emergency medicine and intensive care doctor at the Weill Cornell Medical Center in New York City. He spoke for about thirty minutes then answered questions for approximately another thirty minutes. I found his information to be actionable, positive, and not pressing or emphasizing fear. If you choose to watch the video, I suggest watching it in its entirety as his question answering is at least as powerful as the information he provides when simply speaking about the COVID-19 virus and how to avoid contracting it.

Research Interests
My research at Cornell is focused on critically ill patients in the intensive care unit. My area of interest is translational, patient centered studies that improve the management and outcomes of these patients. Specifically, I am isolating neutrophils from the blood of critically ill patient to better understand the neutrophil contribution to alternative inflammatory pathways. I am working in the lab of Dr. Augustine Choi while also obtaining my Master’s Degree in Clinical & Translational Investigation from the Weill Cornell Medical College Clinical & Translational Science Center.
