ANTOINETTE: the Guatemalan edition

I’m blogging from Guatemala City. That’s right, this lucky gal gets to call Central America home for two months. We’re in the midst of the rainy season where temps hover in the 60s to 70sF. I can confidently report that I am not missing the suffocating heat and humidity of the Atlanta summer. In collaboration with a Rollins School of Public Health mentor, I am working on a data analysis project to determine the prevalence of clinical pertussis (or whooping cough) within the catchment areas of a surveillance project managed by the CDC and the Universidad del Valle de Guatemala.

I’m soaking in the sights and sounds of this beautiful land.

I’m learning every day.

And I’m loving it.
