Project: Exploring the Impact of Zika Exposure Misclassification, Trimester of Zika Infection, and Racial Inequalities on Microcephaly Outcomes in Brazil* 

Céline investigated the intersection of Zika virus (ZIKV) infection, misclassification, and racial inequalities in Brazil. Her project aimed to explore how the misclassification of Zika infection affected microcephaly outcomes and assessed the role racial disparities played in this context. She conducted a comprehensive analysis using surveillance data, focusing on how Afro-descendant populations were disproportionately affected.

Hope is a practice of collective resistance. It lives in the courage of those who refuse to accept injustice as inevitable and in the wisdom of those who understand that all of our liberation is bound together. This is the hope we need––not the fleeting comfort of optimism, but the enduring power of solidarity.
