GW Community Response to COVID-19

I have been tutoring a fourth-grade student from a Boston public school virtually. We mostly work on math problems and concepts.

Seventh-grader Arina and I watched a YouTube video on Lewis and Clark and answered homework questions together. It was an easier tutoring session because the video had a lot of images and for a non-English speaker it was significantly easier to visualize what was happening in US history.

I transcribed documents for the Freedmen's Bureau as part of a Smithsonian Digital Volunteers project.

I tutored the same child with his math homework. I continued helping him walk through fraction addition/subtraction. I also reviewed the question we worked on together that he didn't entirely understand the session prior. We also covered finding the perimeter of a rectangle with fraction-length sides.

BISC 1008 Service Hours - Staying Fit!
Here is what I do to stay in shape during quarantine. I try to get at least 14 miles on my bike every day, doing different loops around my county. I track my progress through a biking/running app called Strava.

I picked up groceries, wiped them down, and dropped them off to my grandparents.

After being approved by Prof. Weiner, this was my first onboarding/introduction call for my volunteer internship at Good Goes Viral! It is a nonprofit that was just founded at the beginning of April, and is an aggregator for the world's leading solutions to the Coronavirus pandemic. We have a U.S. branch (where I'm based), a European Union branch, and an Asia branch. This Google Hangout was with our supervisor, Przemek Czerklewicz, and the two other social media managers from Europe and Asia. This call went over our roles as social media managers and some of the efforts we've been seeing in our local communities doing to cope with the pandemic. We discussed a virtual architect competition and how we may want to cover that on our various platforms. From a communication perspective, I found the whole experience to be very interesting. Despite the fact that the other three people on the call were across the globe, they used the same social media managing platforms that I do! I had no idea that platforms like Hootsuite and Adobe were so universal. I also found it interesting that everyone on the call was proficient in English, despite that being the other three's secondary or third language. There were some moments where nonverbal codes of communication were difficult to interpret, especially when the computer would lag. It was also weird signing off because while it was bright and early for me, my supervisor was starting to wind down for bedtime all the way in the Netherlands! He also told me that there, people aren't even allowed to walk or run outside with masks.

I went to Pick 'n Save (grocery store) to get food to deliver for someone I know who needed it.

I wrote an email on the topic of biodiversity to the East Hampton Board of Education. This email was forwarded to my Understanding Biology TA, Carly Mills.
