2021

Fall/Winter 2021

The Fall/Winter 2021 issue’s special section details solutions to stem the epidemic of gun violence in the U.S.: from data-driven policies and better policing to virtual reality skills tests for gun owners to community based anti-violence outreach. In other must-reads, we examine young people’s struggles with long Covid; spotlight faculty research into acral lentiginous melanoma, the most common—and overlooked—skin cancer among people of color; reflect on lessons learned from the pandemic; and explore emerging research on the gut microbiome and the brain.

Spring/Summer 2021

Our Spring/Summer 2021 issue opens with a how-to guide to scientific insights gleaned so far from COVID-19—from testing and tracking to vaccinating and communicating—that will shape future pandemic responses. Then we dive deep into emerging research and practice that protect health and save lives in other ways: through the SCIBAR initiative, the Exposome Collaborative, Baltimore’s HeartSmiles program, and more.

The 2021 Voices Against Racism series looks back, featuring faculty accounts of racism—institutional and personal—and efforts in support of racial equity.
