In collaboration with the U-M Public Engagement & Impact team, this month's issue of Michigan Research features five podcasts in which researchers discuss the rapidly changing COVID-19 pandemic.

How COVID-19 impacts older adults

Lindsay Kobayashi and Jessica Finlay launched a research project to better understand how the pandemic and associated control practices affect older adults across the United States. Their goal is to identify strategies that could help older adults cope with ongoing concerns and inform future planning.

Tracking social distancing

Jason Corso discusses how a U-M startup is using advanced computer vision models and live public street cameras to track social distancing behaviors at some of the world's most-visited places. 

Drug repurposing

Jonathan Sexton explains how he and his colleagues are working to rapidly identify and screen FDA-approved drugs that could prove effective as therapeutic interventions for COVID-19.
COVID-19 Research Projects

Stress and parenting

Shawna Lee released an online survey after the White House implemented social distancing guidelines. The results shed light on Americans' parenting behaviors and wellbeing amid COVID-19.

Changing perceptions

How long will social distancing last? Will people accept a COVID-19 vaccine? Abram Wagner explores perceptions of COVID-19 countermeasures and how they change over time.
