Borin Castillo working with physical therapy patients in Guatemala
March 15, 2021 – A physical therapist specializing in chronic pain, Gabriela Borin Castillo has done volunteer work with Paralympic athletes and helped build a rehabilitation clinic in Guatemala. The native Brazilian is now living in Chile and working toward her MPH in Epidemiology at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health often with her baby Maria in her lap.
I found out I was pregnant in February 2020, we moved to Chile in a month later so I could start working on a practicum project here, and then the pandemic started. So for my whole pregnancy and through my baby’s first few months, I’ve been home. The MPH in Epidemiology is normally a combination of online and on-campus learning, and I was able to take on-campus classes during the first year of my MPH in 2019, but for the summer 2020 semester when I was supposed to be back on campus, my courses were online due to the pandemic. For my practicum I cond

Democrats Want to Spend Trillions on Infrastructure. Can It Pass?
Democrats appear to be staggered over which policy matters to pivot to next, but it seems likely that the focal points will be on infrastructure and clean energy.
Just as President Joe Biden and Democrats scored a legislative win with the $1.9 trillion rescue package, party members are already debating the next big-spending initiative to jam through Congress, despite the soaring national debt incurred largely from pandemic-related measures.
Democrats passed the coronavirus relief bill this week through budget reconciliation, a legislative process with wonky rules that avoid a GOP filibuster and doesn’t require a single Republican vote. With tight margins in both congressional chambers, Democrats are reportedly turning to the same procedure to push through more of the base’s agenda and demands if negotiations fall flat with the GOP.

SPRING FORWARD, FALL BACK. As mnemonics go, one of the best, as equipment for living, not the recipe we need. Though this issue hits the bookstands the day after we spin the clocks ahead, if springing forward is what you’re looking for, you’ve come to the wrong place. Many things must change, given where we’ve been, yet none of that will happen unless we come to terms with what we’ve learned. And it isn’t the lies, the self-dealing, the rancor, or even, at some level, the damage done, the lives ended, the fortunes ruined, the friends and family lost. All of that still burns, how could it not, and nothing will be forgotten, because how could it be? Yet what is truly essential, what must at last be confronted, was delivered to us drop by drop during this interminable succession of isolated days, a truth that 2020 hindsight cannot not reveal. Though elsewhere there will be other versions, in the US that truth is simple: this co
