Christopher Pool recently earned his bachelor's degree from Brown University in political science. He spent the last year working with Professor Paul Testa and Dean Ronald Aubert on his honor's thesis which analyzed the political implications of vaccine uptake and hesitancy among Latinos in the United States amid the first year of the COVID-19 vaccine rollout. As a research assistant at Brown University, Christopher helped update content for a course titled “The High Cost of Prescription Drugs.” He hopes to work in the public health policy space, specifically in reducing racial and ethnic disparities in access to healthcare. Christopher is from Phoenix, Arizona.
