At some point during COVID, I stumbled into the Microbes and Social Equity group, spearheaded by Dr. Sue Ishaq. Over the past few years, I have attended their Speaker Series and Symposia, and I co-authored a paper with them! It was truly a weird experience being half way through my PhD, without any published works, and jumping onto an on-going collaboration at the last minute to make sure that their paper, Twenty Important Research Questions in Microbial Exposure and Social Equity, did not leave out land degradation and differential exposure to infectious disease due to climate change and habitat destruction. I felt very lucky to work with Edauri Navarro-Perez on this writing and learned so much from the experience.
