Congratulations to Ingenuity Poly alumna Penelope Schenkel, who was recently named first author of the paper, “Disparities during the COVID-19 Pandemic in SARS-CoV-2 Testing Increased After a Federal Government’s At-Home Testing Distribution Program Compared to Before in a U.S. Urban Setting,” in Population Health Management.

Penelope began her research journey in Ingenuity’s Research Practicum, making this achievement especially exciting to celebrate.

Congratulations, Penelope!
