Finding new drugs is a long, expensive process. Drug repurposing, using an old drug for a new disorder, can make this process shorter and cheaper, and can occur by chance when a patient has two medical conditions that are treatable by the same drug. We hope that including you, the consumer, as a partner in drug development through self-report of unexpected benefits from medicinal agents could identify some with potential for repurposing. Your responses to a short Social Media survey may help you and others in the future.

Even 3 years past initial lockdown, the COVID-19 pandemic is still a relatively new phenomenon in the world of sociology that leaves a lot to be explored. My senior thesis project aims to investigate an unexplored corner in this gap, specifically parenting and higher education. I'm interested in researching teaching instructors (professors, teaching graduate students, etc.) at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill who had parenting responsibilities through the COVID-19 pandemic while working at the university. I want to explore how the shift to online working/teaching affected parenthood and work/life balance, as well as the return to on-campus teaching. Although it will be an in-depth exploration, I'm specifically interested in what parts of parenting became easier during the pandemic and what instructors miss about the pandemic, and what this reveals about the gaps in higher education work culture.

This study aims to find better ways to serve children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). We will use 3 rounds of online surveys to develop a list of functionality features that are most relevant for serving school-age autistic children. We hope this list can be used to improve services and support for those who are on the autism spectrum.
