This town hall event, featuring speakers from Brazil, Egypt, Guatemala, Peru, South Africa, and the United States, will be of interest to undergraduate researchers and their mentors, particularly those interested in how the pandemic has affected people in less affluent countries as well as disadvantaged groups in the United States (for example, the incarcerated).
As rich countries vaccinate their populations and prepare to reopen, many poorer countries and vulnerable populations in the US are struggling for vaccine access. On Friday, May 28th, the CUNY Research Scholars Program (CRSP) will host a Town Hall event to discuss the COVID-19 pandemic and global equity issues.
This forum will consist of three panels and include speakers from Brazil, Egypt, Guatemala, Peru, South Africa, and the United States. The US speakers will address vaccine access issues among migrants at the US borders, people in US prisons and jails, and vulnerable populations in US cities. Speakers will also address the gendered impacts of COVID-19, especially in Venezuela and Colombia.

An abbreviated version of the flyer is attached.
This event is free and open to everyone. Please circulate widely within your networks. All faculty, administrators, students, and members of the community are encouraged to attend.

Today at the 20th Semi-Annual Research Mixer, a representative from NASA came to talk about internship opportunities! He recommended checking out Intern.NASA.gov and look at the Opportunities/Projects. The closest location is at Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) so filter for that Center, and for the Summer 2020 session. There are many opportunities available, so do some research and prepare your application (remember, get your letters of recommendation and transcripts for the application). Applications are due March 8th, so add this to the top of your to-do list! New internships are being added all the time, so keep reading!
