Episode 18: Marissa on investigating pre-term birth during a pandemic

Welcome to Sciencing from Home, a podcast from the University of Illinois at Chicago’s Latin@s Gaining Access to Networks for Advancement in Science program, also known as L@s GANAS. Instead of having our research fellowship students, or fellows, check in via email or another Google form, I have invited them to chat with me about how their research is going while we are social distancing and they cannot be in the lab.
