Letter From The Editors

Long, Katherine; Zhang, Harrison

This past year has been characterized by great uncertainty, turmoil, and profound loss due to the COVID-19 pandemic. No matter where in the world you are, there is no doubt in our minds that some aspect of your life has been altered. However, in some ways, the pandemic has also provided opportunities to showcase our human adaptability, resilience, and scientific innovation. The pandemic has also renewed focus on the vital roles that public health research and advocacy play in ensuring our collective wellbeing in society. Therefore, it has never been more important for our journal to continue our mission of relaying innovative solutions to interdisciplinary global health issues from a variety of academic, cultural, and geographic perspectives.
