As COVID-19 changes our world, LDI Fellows are on the front lines, providing care under difficult circumstances, and serving as policy advisors in the face of an unprecedented public health crisis. In this edition of LDI Insight, we take a break from our usual programming to highlight our Fellows' important work in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. We have also set up a dedicated webpage tracking our Fellows' media appearances, and we share frequent updates on Twitter. In the coming weeks, LDI will also host a series of virtual seminars. Please see further details below.
