India’s relatively mild first wave of COVID last year intrigued scientists and led the country’s leadership to declare what turned out to be a very premature victory over the novel coronavirus. The current surge has been much more deadly. Some researchers and media outlets have pinned the blame on new viral variants, which early studies suggest may be more transmissible than the original strain. But many experts familiar with the situation on the ground argue that large gatherings and crowds in closed, compact urban spaces in contrast with the draconian lockdown imposed during the first wave are driving most of the spread.
Emory studying mind-body interventions for trauma-related dissociation
Emory University is part of a $3.8 million grant from the NIH’s National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health awarded to both Emory and University of Pittsburgh. The funding will support a clinical trial to test the mechanisms of new mind-body interventions for trauma-related dissociation. Dissociation is a disconnection between a person’s thoughts, memories, feelings, actions or sense of who he or she is.
Emory will serve as the trial’s primary site led by clinical neuropsychologist Negar Fani, assistant professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences. Researchers will recruit 200 people across the two sites seeking participants who have endured trauma and may be experiencing dissociation.

Then came an undergraduate research job in the lab of Emory disease ecologist Thomas Gillespie. Her work identifying the mites, biting flies and other ectoparasites on bats helped give new insight into the role that relationship may play in transmitting
Bartonella, the bacteria behind several human diseases.
By the time COVID-19 brought renewed attention to other diseases caused by germs spreading between animals and people, Jones was well into her own research in addition to graduate-level coursework.
