CONSPIRE is back! After almost a year's hiatus, we speak with epidemiologists Justin Feldman and Abby Cartus about the pandemic: vaccines, relief bills, paid shutdowns, and more. You don't want to miss it!
Abigail Cartus, PhD MPH, is a perinatal epidemiologist whose work focuses on severe complications of pregnancy, labor, and delivery.
Justin Feldman is a social epidemiologist and Health and Human Rights Fellow at the Harvard FXB Center for Health and Human Rights. His work looks at how racism and economic inequality shape population health. One of his main focus areas is police violence in the United States.
