Come join us in the fields to lose track of time, be outdoors, practice embodied work, and experience profound community with plants, soil, and humans! Our students, volunteers, and staff consistently say that their most memorable memories at DCF are the conversations they shared over a wheelbarrow of mulch or while tackling weeds in a bed of carrots together. Absolutely no farming experience is necessary, and there is no Duke affiliation required. We have tasks for most ages and abilities.

Background and Objectives: Understanding of communicable respiratory diseases and contexts of childhood and family life shifted during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. Against this backdrop, competing hypotheses have emerged around children's risks of maltreatment and system contact, highlighting a need for greater understanding of trends in child welfare system involvement before, during, and since the COVID-19 pandemic. This study estimates the cumulative prevalence of several stages of child welfare contact for all US children and across racial/ethnic groups between 2016 and 2023.

This talk will cover evidence on the causes behind the pre-COVID U.S. life expectancy stagnation including an overview of trends in underlying causes of death and heterogeneity across place. It will address the recent post-COVID pandemic rebound in life expectancy, and what the data as a whole suggest for the direction of U.S. life expectancy moving forward.
