How we can use psychological principles to foster collaboration in the fight against COVID-19
Wednesday, Feb 24, 2021
COVID-19 can be thought of as a game of chicken, except instead of driving head-on towards each other and betting the other person will swerve at the last minute, we’re going out when we should be staying home and foregoing social distancing, masks and hygiene measures.
True toll of coronavirus on sub-Saharan Africa may be obscured by tremendous variability in risk factors and surveillance
Wednesday, Feb 17, 2021
One early feature of reporting on the coronavirus pandemic was the perception that sub-Saharan Africa was largely being spared the skyrocketing infection and death rates that were disrupting nations around the world.
Adherence to health precautions, not climate, the biggest factor driving wintertime COVID-19 outbreaks
Tuesday, Feb 9, 2021
Wintertime outbreaks of COVID-19 have been largely driven by whether people adhere to control measures such as mask wearing and social distancing, according to a study published Feb. 8 in Nature Communications by Princeton University researchers. Climate and population immunity are playing smaller roles during the current pandemic phase of the virus, the researchers found.
Beyond ventilators: Princeton engineers design, build and program a noninvasive breathing system for COVID-19 patients
Friday, Jan 29, 2021
On April 1, 2020, as the pandemic threatened to overwhelm area hospitals, Andrew Leifer was looking for a way to help. The Princeton University physicist connected with doctors at the University of Pennsylvania Health System in Philadelphia who were working to prevent a looming shortage in machines used to keep patients breathing.
Engineering and artificial intelligence combine to safeguard COVID-19 patients
Tuesday, Jan 26, 2021
Spurred by the demands of the COVID-19 pandemic, researchers at Princeton and Google are applying mechanical engineering and artificial intelligence to increase the availability and effectiveness of ventilation treatments worldwide.
Princeton researchers study the many impacts of COVID-19
Wednesday, Jan 20, 2021
Within days of shutting down their laboratories in response to the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, Princeton researchers were asking how they could help.
COVID-19 Reduced U.S. life expectancy, especially among Black and Latino populations
Friday, Jan 15, 2021
The Covid-19 pandemic, which claimed more than 336,000 lives in the United States in 2020, has significantly affected life expectancy, University of Southern California (USC) and Princeton University researchers have found.
Forecasting the next COVID-19
Monday, Dec 14, 2020
Princeton disease ecologist C. Jessica Metcalf and Harvard physician and epidemiologist Michael Mina say that predicting disease could become as commonplace as predicting the weather. The Global Immunological Observatory, like a weather center forecasting a tornado or hurricane, would alert the world, earlier than ever before, to dangerous emerging pathogens like SARS-CoV-2.
In pandemic, Princeton graduate students and faculty raced to create innovative protections for hospital staff
Monday, Dec 7, 2020
When a local hospital experienced a surge in coronavirus patients last spring, it tapped Princeton University researchers for urgent solutions to help protect its healthcare workers.
Since then, University labs have delivered more than 3,000 reusable face shields to hospital staff in the emergency department and other areas of Penn Medicine Princeton Medical Center, as well as 1,500 specialized covers for the powered air purifying respirators (PAPRs) used by medical workers in high-risk environments. University labs recently received a request for another 1,000 PAPR covers.
