Title: Angie Whitehurst Interview, April 16, 2020
Date: April 17, 2020
Creator: Angie Whitehurst; Dan Kerr
Description: Angie Whitehurst explores how she has reacted to the COVID-19 crisis. She feels that the city did not react fast or well enough, and says that we should listen to doctors, scientists, and public health officials before politicians. Angie shares cartoons that she has been working on about COVID for Street Sense that include important messages about making change and staying home. The cartoons additionally explore the economic impact of COVID, both personally and nationally, the racial implications, and the need for social justice in DC jails. She ends with a call to help our communities: "human kindness is what we really need right now."

Title: Jess Dawson Interview, December 2, 2021
Date: December 2, 2021
Creator: Jess Dawson; Maddie Tinsley
Description: This interview was conducted on December 2, 2021 using the Their Story platform. The interview was intended to get Jess Dawson’s perspective on the topic of medical school applications and how the criteria of those applications affect medical students from minority communities. In this interview, Dawson discusses her perspective on the judgment of medical school applications and describes how most of the emphasis is placed on applicant’s work and volunteer experiences. Dawson describes how her personal work and research experiences prior to medical school set her application apart but also how the pressure to get so many experiences was ultimately damaging to her mental health. In an academic context, Dawson discusses her experiences taking the MCAT, the impact these tests have on medical students, and how recent changes to the STEP One exam have altered the medical school experience. Dawson describes how the importance of previous experience often disadvantages applicants from minority communities who don't have as many connections. She also described the privilege experienced by medical students who are children of doctors and thus have more connections and less barriers. She also discusses how she feels medical schools favor individuals from economically privileged backgrounds. She concludes the interview by describing her experience working to get some new questions on her medical school application and her perspective on how medical schools are pursuing a limited form of diversity.

Title: Melissa Hawkins Interview, October 3, 2020
Date: October 3, 2020
Creator: Melissa Hawkins; Laura Sislen
Description: From the American University Department of Health Studies and Humanities Truck Fellow, Melissa Hawkins discusses the evolving impact of COVID-19. In some ways 7 months feels like a lifetime ago. The impact has been different for each member of her family including her 4 children such as adjusting to online schooling. She reflects on how fortunate the family has been to not be afflicted by job loss or illness; the day-to-day adjustments have been more impactful. Some silver-linings include: the amount of time spent together, re-evaluating what's important, who's important, and reaching out to loved ones. What keeps them going? Their pets! As there are many revealing lessons about the fragmentation of the health care and public health systems, Melissa, who works in public health, reflects on the mistrust of science and scientists that became apparent through this and hopes to build that trust to rely on science in times of uncertainty.
