The researchers identified specific patterns of brain activation that protect adolescents from experiencing COVID-19-related anxiety and depression. The safeguard even extended to teens who experienced early puberty and are more likely to suffer psychological distress.
In a new mathematical model, Stanford researchers have coupled disease dynamics with cultural behaviors harmful to health – such as anti-vaccination sentiment or aversion to mask-wearing – that can spread like pathogens themselves.
A panel of Stanford medical experts described steps the university has taken to develop and implement a COVID-19 testing program that will supplement, but not be a substitute for, basic precautions.
The researchers hypothesize outcomes of the pandemic’s unprecedented socioeconomic disruption, and outline research priorities for advancing our understanding of humans’ impact on the environment.
In a Q&A, Stanford law Professor David Freeman Engstrom and Chief Justice Bridget Mary McCormack of the Michigan Supreme Court discuss COVID-19’s challenge to our civil justice system.
Scholars at the Graduate School of Business say that thinking in terms of a journey rather than a destination can help virus survivors and health care providers mitigate the psychological trauma of the pandemic.

Stanford Law Professor Michelle Mello answers questions relating to California's biggest spike in COVID-19 cases since the pandemic began in March, with more than 7,000 new cases confirmed.
Stanford researchers are working to find strategies to reduce the spread of COVID-19 among the incarcerated and inform mitigation strategies in other high-density living situations.
Teaching students about the existential threat of a pandemic as they are living through one can help make the danger feel less hypothetical and much more real.
A perspective article co-authored by senior research officers from six leading research universities, including Stanford, argues for a gradual, stepwise approach to reopening of academic research that is informed by public health expertise.
Global thought leaders, including former U.S. Secretary of Energy Ernest Moniz, will examine the future of energy in the new Stanford Global Energy Dialogues series.

Plans for Stanford’s new Innovative Medicines Accelerator arose before the COVID-19 pandemic struck, but now its programs are focused entirely on helping faculty generate and test new medicines to slow the spread of the disease.
At a Stanford HAI conference, experts will discuss vaccine development, the future of work, privacy and contact tracing, 2020 elections, and other major issues arising from this pandemic.
Global carbon dioxide emissions are down dramatically in the wake of COVID-19. A new study pinpoints where energy demand has dropped the most, estimates the impact on annual emissions and points the way to a less polluted future.
Biopolicy expert Megan Palmer offers insight on today’s COVID-19 crisis and hope that leaders in policy, science and security can unite to prevent the next pandemic.
The inability of 14th-century medicine to stop the plague from destroying societies throughout Europe and Asia helped advance scientific discovery and transformed politics and health policy, says Stanford historian Paula Findlen.
