National center for health statistics fellowship

John Lin ’23 completed a research fellowship at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Health Statistics, where he conducted epidemiologic research—analyzing national data on food insecurity and adult allergies as well as leading a preliminary analysis of the new National Health Interview Survey for teenagers—to inform CDC policies. “My fellowship was such an important learning experience because I got to see a more public role for research. In the future, I hope to continue working with the government and academic institutions like Brown.” Lin has continued his research with long-time mentor Paul Greenberg, MD, Brown professor of surgery, at the Providence VA Medical Center on medical education, health policy, and ophthalmology.
