Demi A. Danso-Odei, an epidemiologist who studied at the University of Florida, tracks down and interviews students, staff and faculty who have tested positive for the coronavirus or have been exposed to someone who did. She works out of the UF Emerging Pathogens Institute. Her job isn’t a harsh inquisition. The work involves being personable, understanding, nonjudgmental. It’s about winning cooperation from sometimes leery people who might be uncomfortable discussing their movements and contacts, even when the process is confidential. Winning trust is crucial. “The investigative part of the job is what really intrigues me,” Danso-Odei said. “I like to ask probing questions. But I like to do it in a way that seems conversational and not like an interrogation.” Together for Florida, working to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 on campus.
