The Bowdish lab is not accepting undergraduate thesis or summer students for the 2021/22 academic year.
Due to COVID occupancy restrictions we cannot accept thesis students for the 2021/22 school year. We acknowledge how frustrating it is for undergraduates who want to participate in research; however, the team is too busy with COVID related projects to devote the time required for virtual projects. Best of luck to all those searching for positions.

SARS-CoV-2 & Back-To-School (Part 2). Ventilation & cleaning concerns
SARS-CoV-2 and Back-to-School Part 2: Transmission through air and surfaces
In Part 2 of this series we discuss the relative risk of infection through circulating air and on surfaces and some easy examples of how to break up air circulation patterns in schools.
Major points include:
1) Risks from circulating air versus surfaces
2) How masks, outside time (especially during meal time and when shouting/singing/playing music) and opening windows and doors can help reduce risk.
3) What to clean and when.
4) Beware of the break room! Occupational transmission often comes from colleagues – reduce the risk.
