We will identify changes in the numbers, seriousness, and outcomes of breast cancers diagnosed during the COVID-19 pandemic, compared to before the pandemic.
To assess the nature of ideological intuitions citizens use when making informed guesses about other people's political issue positions. In other words, what do people conclude about each other's wider system of political beliefs upon learning that a conversation partner supports (or opposes) a certain policy position or regulation (e.g. support for renewable energy investments, opposition to the death penalty). Intuitions about wider sets of political beliefs may be relevant to political decision making (e.g. voting, candidate appraisal) and in everyday social interactions (deciding which friend-circles to enter, whom to associate with, which clubs, associations to join, ect). The goal of this study is to gain an overview of the prevalence and relative strength of ideological intuitions for a set of 16 different political attitudes and identity markers.

Our experimental aims are to 1) evaluate two methods for collecting dried blood spots (i.e., finger prick versus Tasso M20) and 2) examine correlations between psychological variables and pro-inflammatory markers. To achieve these, we will be implementing a course-based undergraduate research experience (CURE) and plan to assess its effectiveness in student success (e.g., academic performance, involvement in research, and retention in STEM).
