Student view: Creative problem solving Zachary Morehouse is a third year student in the College of Osteopathic Medicine. He is currently working as a research consultant fighting infectious diseases at the biotechnology company Omni International. March of 2020 kicked off as one of the most stressful and difficult times any of us can remember. I remember vividly looking at the COVID-19 cases skyrocket across the country and asking myself how I could help. As a medical student here and someone who spent the last few years of my life training in respiratory virus research through my master’s degree, I knew I had skills to help but just didn’t know how to get off the sidelines and into the fight against this pandemic.
