Welcome to Collegeland!
We started a podcast about higher education in the middle of a pandemic, so it’s only fitting that we kick off this first episode with our favorite campus scientist, Dr. Malia Jones.
Malia is one of the creators of Dear Pandemic, a social media campaign and one-stop shop for practical, science-based information and advice about navigating life during COVID. She gives us an inside peek into the work of the “Nerdy Girls” team in combating the infodemic and keeping us all safe and sane.
After the interview, co-hosts Nan and Lisa give out their first grades of the semester in a Report Card segment.
About our guest
Malia Jones is an associate scientist in health geography at the University of Wisconsin–Madison Applied Population Laboratory. She is co-founder and editor-in-chief of Dear Pandemic, a popular public outreach account on social media.
