After taking a relaxing week off with friends and exploring the island, I started the week off strong helping with a busy week in COCOVID. Because of the holiday, the pickup and drop-off schedule was a bit muddled and it was all hands on deck collecting and picking up samples. This week was pickup shift after pickup shift and I really got to learn the intricacies of participant management. We had to juggle giving out incentives with schedules and coordination with the main cohort study, COPA. This week I also got my CDC laptop up and working and continued to do file conversion for CDC headquarters in San Juan. 
Since I am looking at the data as it is collected and the questions used in the survey, I have been thinking about possible research questions to ask. The art of finding an interesting research question is often rushed and given a deadline. With this long-term project, I am able to marinate about what data is collected and involve current events, such as the Denguevaxia rollout and Covid into the situation. Pictured below are the other interns I am working with.
