BEAUMONT, Texas, July 20 -- Lamar University issued the following news release:
If you ask Dr. Margot Gage what she studies, the answer depends on when you catch her.
One week, she's reviewing research for one of the nation's largest federally funded long COVID initiatives. Another, she's teaching Lamar University students how neighborhoods, governments, and public policy shape health outcomes. She's organized ceremonies honoring Vietnam veterans, and become one of the country's most visible advocates for people living with long COVID.
On paper, it reads like a career that zigzags across topics.
To Gage, it has always been the same story.
"I like to do research on topics that give a voice to people who don't have one," she says.
Wheth...
