Description

The pandemic has brought about a renewed appreciation for workers who are considered to be essential to core functions of society. Among these, have been postal service workers who serve the important role of delivering essential objects to where they need to go, whether it be paychecks, medicines, or PPE (Protective Personal Equipment). However, does this renewed appreciation show in their workers’ benefits and protections? Along with the topic of the postal service, let’s talk about infrastructure orders and computer security professionals with Ryan Ellis, an assistant professor at Northeastern University, and Megan Finn, an assistant professor at the University of Washington. Their information can be found here: https://camd.northeastern.edu/faculty/ryan-ellis/ and https://ischool.uw.edu/people/faculty/profile/megfinn.
