Students Doing Good with Data
Spotlight on Past — and Future — ICPSR Data Competition Winners
|
|
The year is 2022. Simran Sethi Khanna (Princeton University) just won ICPSR's Undergraduate Paper Competition for her work, "Determining LGB Perceptions of and Trust in the Medical Establishment," and joined ICPSR's Data Brunch podcast team to talk about her findings, her inspiration, and her love of Thai food.
The year is 2025. Simran is now an MD candidate at the Duke University School of Medicine. She still loves Thai food. And ICPSR is still rewarding students like Simran for exemplary use of data, but now in a different way. The ICPSR Research Paper Competition recently transitioned to the ICPSR Data Communication Scholarship for students from ICPSR member institutions. Check out Data Brunch Episode 18: Trust and Outcomes.
